Chapter 8 Controlling Mesh Access Points
Adding Mesh Access Points to the Mesh Network
VLAN Transparent This feature determines how a mesh access point
handles VLAN tags for Ethernet bridged traffic.
Note Refer to the “Configuring Ethernet
Bridging and Ethernet VLAN Tagging”
section on page 8-25 for overview and
additional configuration details.
If this parameter is enabled, then VLAN tags are
not handled and packets are bridged as if they are
untagged.
If this parameter is disabled, all packets are
tagged non-VLAN transparent or VLAN-opaque
and all tagged packets are dropped.
Uncheck the check box to enable the VLAN
Tagging feature.
Note VLAN Transparent is enabled as a default
to ensure a smooth software upgrade from
4.1.192.xxM releases to release 5.2.
Release 4.1.192.xxM does not support
VLAN tagging.
Note Refer to “Configuring Ethernet Bridging
and Ethernet VLAN Tagging” section on
page 8-25 for more details.
Default: Enabled.
Security Mode Defines the security mode for mesh access points:
Pre-Shared Key (PSK) or Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP).
Note EAP must be selected if external MAC
filter authorization using a RADIUS
server is configured.
Note Local EAP or PSK authentication is
performed within the controller if the
External MAC Filter Authorization
parameter is disabled (check box
unchecked).
Options: PSK or EAP
Default: EAP
