l Access mode forwards untagged packets received on the port to the controller and they appear on the
configured access mode VLAN. Tagged packets are dropped. All packets received from the controller and
sent via this port are untagged. Define the access mode VLAN in the Access mode VLAN field.
l Trunk mode contains a list of allowed VLANs. Any packet received on the port that is tagged with an
allowed VLAN is forwarded to the controller. Untagged packets are forwarded to the controller on the
configured Native VLAN. Packets received from the controller and sent out the port remain tagged unless
the tag value in the packet is the Native VLAN, in which case the tag is removed. Define the Native
VLAN in the Trunk mode native VLAN field and the other allowed VLANs in the Trunk mode allowed
VLANs field.
d. Optionally, select Trusted to configure this as a trusted port.

Use the following commands to configure ethernet port bridging via the CLI.

Optionally, you can configure the following wired AP profile settings:
(host)(config) #ap wired-ap-profile <profile>
switchport mode {access | trunk}
switchport access vlan <vlan>
switchport trunk native vlan <vlan>
switchport trunk allowed vlan <vlan>

Configuring Ethernet Ports for Secure Jack Operation
You can configure the Ethernet port(s) on mesh nodes to operate in tunnel mode. Known as secure jack operation
for mesh, this configuration allows Ethernet frames coming into the specified wired interface to be generic routing
encapsulation (GRE) tunneled to the controller. Likewise, Ethernet frames coming from the tunnel are bridged to
the corresponding wired interface. This allows an Ethernet port on the mesh node to appear as an Ethernet port on
the controller separated by one or more Layer-3 domains. You can also enable VLAN tagging.
Unlike secure jack on non-mesh APs, any mesh node configured for secure jack uses the mesh link, rather than enet0,
to tunnel the frame to the controller.
When configuring mesh Ethernet ports for secure jack operation, note the following guidelines:
l Mesh points support secure jack on enet0 and enet1.
l Mesh portals only support secure jack on enet1. This function is only applicable to Dell APs that support a
second Ethernet port and mesh, such as the W-AP130 Series and W-AP120 Series.
You configure secure jack operation in the wired AP profile.
NOTE: The parameters in the wired AP profile only apply to the wired AP interface to which they are applied. Two wired interfaces
can have different parameter values.
In the WebUI
Use the following procedure to configure secure jack operation using the WebUI.
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Wireless > AP Configuration > AP Group window.
2. Click the Edit button by the AP group with the wired AP profile you want to edit.
3. Under the Profiles list, expand the APmenu, then select Wired AP profile. The settings for the currently selected
wired AP profile appear.
You can use a different wired AP profile by selecting a profile from the Wired AP profile drop-down list.
