used to transmit or receive traffic, except to exchange messages with other network nodes
to verify the uniqueness of the address.
•
Blank (no value)
: No IP address is assigned or the assigned address is not operational.
IPv6 link local address
The IPv6 link local address is the IPv6 address used by the local physical link. The link local
address is not configurable and is assigned by using the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery process.
IPv6 auto configuration
When IPv6 auto configuration is enabled, the M210 processes the Router Advertisements
received on the LAN port to determine its IPv6 addresses. The M210 can have multiple
autoconfigured IPv6 addresses. The autoconfigured addresses coexist with the statically
configured address. The AP can be accessed using either the statically configured or the
automatically obtained IPv6 address.
IPv6 autoconfigured global addresses
If the AP has been assigned one or more IPv6 addresses automatically, the addresses are
listed.
VLAN configuration
When the AP receives traffic from a wireless client, the AP may forward it on the Ethernet
network to which the AP connects. Client traffic may be associated with a VLAN as it is
forwarded to the Ethernet network.
VLAN assignment via wireless communities
The easiest way to assign user traffic to a VLAN is to configure the VLAN ID setting in a
wireless community (See Wireless community configuration options on page 36 ). This puts all
the traffic from users that connect to the wireless community onto the specified VLAN via the
M210 Ethernet port.
In the following scenario, two wireless communities are defined, each with its own VLAN:
Employee
wireless community
VLAN = 10
Employee #1
Employee #2
Guest #1
Guest #2
VLAN 10
VLAN 10, 20
Company
file server
Shared
printer
DHCP server
VLAN 10, 20
Switch

VLAN 10, 20
No VLAN
