Wireless Access Point
178 Configuring the Wireless AP
d. Load balance traffic between gig ports — This option provides
trunking, similar to option (b) — Aggregate Traffic from gig1 & gig2
using 802.3ad, but it does not use 802.3ad and it uses a different load
balancing algorithm to determine the outgoing Gigabit port. The
outgoing port used is based on an exclusive OR of the source and
destination MAC address. Like option (b), this mode also provides
load balancing and fault tolerance. See Figure 104 (d).
4. Bond Ports: Select the ports to be members of this bond for the behavior
specified by Bond Mode. By default, Bond1 contains Gig1 and Gig2. You
may also set up a bond with a single port, for example, if you wish to
mirror one Gigabit port to another. In APs that have four Gigabit ports,
you also have the option of bonding three or four ports together.
When you check off a port to be a member of a bond, that port is
automatically removed from any other bonds that contain it.
5. Active VLANs: Active VLANs shows the VLANs that you have selected
to be passed through this port. Create and manage the list of VLANs that
are allowed to be passed through this port. Traffic will be dropped for
VLANs that are not in this list. The default setting is to pass All VLANs.
a. To add a VLAN to the list of allowed VLANs, click this field and
select the desired VLAN from the drop-down list. To allow all
VLANs (current or future) to be passed, select All VLANs.
b. To allow only the set of currently defined VLANs (see “VLANs” on
page 213) to be passed, select All Current VLANs. Essentially, this
“fixes” the Active VLANs list to contain the currently defined
VLANs, and only this set, until you make explicit changes to the
Active VLANs list. If you create new VLANs, they will not be passed
unless you take action to add them to the list.
c. To remove a VLAN from the list of allowed VLANs, click the X before
its name.
6. Mirroring — Specify one of the active bonds (Bondx) that is to be
mirrored by this bond (Bondy). (Figure 105) All wireless traffic received
on the AP is transmitted out both Bondx and Bondy. All traffic received
