Auxiliary Ethernet Port (New Feature)
AP 2700 has an additional Ethernet port labeled “AUX” for Auxiliary port used for downstream traffic.
The Ethernet uplink port to the controller on the AP 3700 is labeled Ethernet, on the AP 2700 it is
shortened to PoE.
This AUX port is designed to function as a downstream port. The AUX port is ideal for devices such as
video cameras, projectors, IP Phones, Point of Sale terminals, and other end point devices. It is not
designed to perform port aggregation nor will it provide PoE out.
Additionally, this AUX port will be disabled if the AP is being powered by a limited 15.4 W .3af PoE
source because it requires PoE+, .3at, or local power (wall brick type power supply) to properly function.
Note In this initial 7.6 MR2 release, this port is not manageable and is simply bridged back to the controller.
Avoid connecting another AP to this port or devices such as switches/hubs or the same switch or uplink
as the PoE port because it can create spanning tree loop issues.
