Quick Installation Guide
ECW5211-L
ENGLISH
⑫
Network Mode
:
Bridge
mode
– the VAP operates transparently (i.e. no NAT, no DHCP) such that client
devices will be assigned a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server on the LAN side. The
source IP address of client traffic seen by the uplink gateway/switch will remain the original IP
address of the client (in this case, 192.168.1.31, as shown in the diagram below).
NAT
mode
– the VAP operates like a Network Address Translation (NAT) device with a
built-in DHCP server on this SSID such that client devices will be assigned a dynamic IP
address from the configured DHCP pool on this SSID. After NAT conversion, the source IP
address of client traffic seen by the uplink gateway/switch will be the IP address of the AP (in
this case, 192.168.1.10, as shown in the diagram below).
VLAN ID
: Per-SSID VLAN tagging function
– when enabled, clients’ traffic which enters the AP through
this SSID will be tagged with the configured VLAN ID.
DHCP Profile
: Built-in DHCP Server profile; IP settings of DHCP Server are under Home > System >
DHCP Server.
CAPWAP Tunnel Interface
: Three states indicating the connectivity between AP and Controller, when
AP is managed by Controller
–
Disable
(No Tunnel): the AP is operating with no CAPWAP Tunnel connection to the
Controller
Split Tunnel
: the AP passes only "control" traffic to the Controller via the CAPWAP Tunnel;
i.e. "data" traffic will go out locally without passing through the Tunnel
Complete Tunnel
: the AP passes both "control" and "data" traffic to the Controller via the
CAPWAP Tunnel
