Network Topology
Single AP Topology
All the APs in the zone get their IP addresses from the WAN router and provides the DHCP or NAT service. For example,AP H510 or H320 is configured as GAP (Generation Application Protocol) as a manual port selection, then LAN1 and LAN2 configuration is pushed to Ethernet1 and Ethernet2 ports of the APs instead of Ethernet0 and Ethernet1 ports.

Multiple AP (Flat Network) Topology
All the APs in the zone get their IP address from the WAN router and designated APs provide the DHCP or NAT service. A maximum of two APs is selected for DHCP service (primary and secondary) and ten APs for NAT Gateway.

Hierarchical AP Topology
Designated APs provide the DHCP or NAT service. Gateway APs get the IP address from the WAN router and non-gateway APs get the IP address from the Gateway APs. For example, AP H510 or H320 is configured as GAP by manual port selection, then LAN1 and LAN2 configuration is pushed of the APs to Ethernet1 and Ethernet2 ports instead of Ethernet0 and Ethernet1 ports. If Ethernet0 port needs to be configured, then LAN5 or LAN3 ports need to be configured.
