Configure Spanning Tree Protocol, 802.1Q VLAN, and
Link Layer Discovery Protocol
As part of the advanced system configuration, you can enable the Spanning Tree Protocol
(STP), configure the VLANs, and enable Ethernet Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) as
described in the following sections:
• Configure STP and VLANs
• Configure Ethernet LLDP
Configure STP and VLANs
STP provides network traffic optimization in locations where multiple wireless access points
are active by preventing path redundancy. If your location includes more than one active
wireless access point, we recommend that you enable STP.
The 802.1Q VLAN protocol on the wireless access point logically separates traffic on the
same physical network. The wireless access point supports the following types of VLANs:
• Untagged VLAN. When the wireless access point sends frames that are associated with
the untagged VLAN from its Ethernet interface, those frames are untagged. When the
wireless access point receives untagged frames over its Ethernet interface, those frames
are assigned to the untagged VLAN.
IPv6 Address Enter the IP address of your wireless access point. The default IP address is
2001::21c:c0ff:fe69. To change the address, enter an unused IPv6 address
from the address range used on your LAN.
Prefix Length Enter the prefix length for the IPv6 address. The default prefix length us 64.
Default Gateway Enter the IPv6 address of the ISP gateway to which the wireless access point
connects.
Dynamic IPv6 Address The dynamic IPv6 address that is assigned by the DHCPv6 server on your
network. This address does not overwrite the address in the IPv6 Address field.
Primary DNS Server Enter the IP address of the primary and secondary DNS servers.
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as
www.netgear.com) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP
address of one or two DNS servers to your wireless access point during login. If
the ISP does not transfer an address, you must obtain it from the ISP and enter
it manually in this field.
Secondary DNS Server
Network Integrity Check Select this check box to validate that the upstream link is active before allowing
wireless associations. Ensure that the default gateway is configured.
