AP Ethernet Ports

In this section:

1. Creating an Ethernet Port Profile
   An Ethernet port profile contains settings that define how an AP will handle VLAN packets when its port is designated as a trunk, access, or general port. By default, three Ethernet port profiles exist: General Port, Access Port, and Trunk Port.
2. Designating an Ethernet Port Type
   Ethernet ports can be configured as access ports, trunk ports, or general ports.
3. Access Ports
   Access ports provide access to the network and can be configured as members of a specific VLAN, thereby separating the traffic on these ports from traffic on other VLANs.
4. Trunk Ports
   Trunk links are required to pass VLAN information between switches. Trunking is a function that must be enabled on both sides of a link.
5. General Ports
   General ports are user-specified ports that can be assigned a combination of up to 20 VLAN IDs.
