Network Mode – NAT mode: the VAP operates like a Network Address Translation (NAT) device with a
built-in DHCP server on this SSID such that client devices will be assigned a dynamic IP address from the
configured DHCP pool on this SSID. After NAT conversion, the source IP address of client traffic seen by
the uplink gateway/switch will be the IP address of the AP (in this case, 192.168.1.10, as shown in the
diagram below).
Uplink/Downlink Bandwidth: Bandwidth control is configurable on the VAP in Kbits per second. Set 0
for unlimited bandwidth control.
VLAN ID: Per-SSID VLAN tagging function – when enabled, clients’ traffic which enters the AP through
this SSID will be tagged with the configured VLAN ID.
Uplink 802.1P per VAP: Priority levels for uplink traffic can be selected here. The options available are
Background, Best Effort, Excellent Effort, Critical Applications, Video, Voice, Internetwork Control,
Network Control. For more information, please refer to IEEE Standards 802.1P.
DHCP Profile (for NAT mode): Built-in DHCP Server profile; IP settings of DHCP Server are under Home >
System > DHCP Server.
CAPWAP Tunnel Interface: Three states indicating the connectivity between AP and Controller, when AP
is managed by Controller
- Disable (No Tunnel): the AP is operating with no CAPWAP Tunnel connection to the Controller
- Split Tunnel: the AP passes only “control” traffic to the Controller via the CAPWAP Tunnel; i.e.
“data” traffic will go out locally without passing through the Tunnel
- Complete Tunnel: the AP passes both “control” and “data” traffic to the Controller via the
CAPWAP Tunnel
- VLAN ID is supported only when the VAP is in Bridge mode.
- DHCP Profile and DHCP Server are activated only when the VAP is set to NAT
mode.
- If the VAP is in NAT mode, the CAPWAP Tunnel Interface will only work in two
states:Disable (No Tunnel) or Split Tunnel.
