Configuring and Managing Ports
You can configure and display information for the following port parameters:
• Port type
• Name
• Speed and autonegotiation
• Port state
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) state
• Load sharing
Setting the Port Type
A DWS-1008 switch port can be one of the following types:
•
Network port - A network port is a Layer 2 switch port that connects the switch to other networking
devices such as switches and routers.
•
AP access port - An AP access port connects the switch to an access point. The port also can
provide power to the access point. Wireless users are authenticated to the network through an
access port.
•
Wired authentication port - A wired authentication port connects the switch to user devices,
such as workstations, that must be authenticated to access the network.
All switch ports are network ports by default. You must set the port type for ports directly connected to
AP access ports and to wired user stations that must be authenticated to access the network. When you
change port type, MSS applies default settings appropriate for the port type. The table on the next page
lists the default settings applied for each port type. For example, the access point column lists default
settings that MSS applies when you change a port type to
ap (DWL-8220AP access point).
