What VLANs available on Ethernet of meshed AP?

belias01 — Sun, 16 Jun 2024 12:54:29 GMT

I have a wired R310 AP running unleashed FW. It’s connected to a trunk switch port with 5 VLANs. It currently transmits 3 SSID’s, each attached to one of the 5 VLANs.

My question is: if I set up an R510 as a wireless mesh device, which VLANs would be available on its Ethernet port? Would the management network be the PVID (untagged) and the other 5 VLANs be available as tagged?

Thanks.

The R310, R320 & H320 won't participate in wireless meshing, so you couldn't wirelessly bridge an R310 and R510.

Assuming you bought e.g. 2 x R510s then one can act as the Root AP and the other can act as a Mesh AP. In this case the Mesh AP's ethernet ports would be trunk ports. Unleashed does support configuring the ethernet ports of their wall-mounted APs as access ports, so if you need this you could buy e.g. an H510 to use as your mesh AP.
