R720 Using eth0 and eth1 at the same time

unknown

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to use both interfaces 
on a R720 Access Points while they are managed by 
vSZ or ZoneDirector or Smart Zone 100.

We currently use eth1(PoE) managed by either one of the above controllers.

I would like to set up a static IP address 
on the currently non used eth0 interface.

If this is possible, could you kindly give me a link 
for a manual where this is explained?

TIA,

Hi @fred_ellena 

First of all you would need to make sure this AP is working on power mode 802.3at+ for both ports to work as by default R720 second port will be disabled hence it needs power mode 802.3at+ or Power over HDBaseT (PoH) 33.5W. You can also hard code the power setting on AP and verify the power mode from AP CLI.

set power-mode at+

get power-mode

If this is managed by vSZ you can create a eth port profile which  contains settings that define how an AP will handle VLAN packets when its port is a designated as either trunk, access, or general port.
