236 Configuring APs
NN47250-500 (320657-F Version 02.01)
Setting the port type for a directly connected AP
You must set the port type on WSS ports that are directly connected to APs.
When you change port type, WSS Software applies default settings appropriate for the port type. Table 9 on page 236
lists the default settings that WSS Software applies when you set a port’s type to ap.
2360/2361 30 12
2350 8 3

Port parameter Setting
VLAN membership Port is removed from all VLANs. You cannot assign an AP
access port to a VLAN. WSS Software automatically assigns AP
access ports to VLANs based on user traffic.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Not applicable
802.1X Port uses authentication parameters configured for users.
Port groups Not applicable
IGMP snooping Enabled as users are authenticated and join VLANs.
Maximum user sessions Not applicable
Caution! When you set the port type for AP use, you must specify the PoE state
(enable or disable) of the port. Use the WSS switch’s PoE to power Nortel APs only. If you
enable PoE on a port connected to another device, physical damage to the device can
result.
Note. You cannot configure port 7 or 8 on a 2360/2361 switch, or port 1 on a 2350, or
port 3 on a 2382, or any gigabit Ethernet port, as an AP port. To manage an AP on an 2380
switch, configure a Distributed AP connection on the switch. (See “Configuring an indirectly
connected AP” (page 237).)
