ProSAFE Dual-Band Wireless AC Access Point WAC720 WAC730 2. Configure the IPv6 settings as explained in the following table: Setting Description DHCP Client By default, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client is disabled. If you have a DHCPv6 server on your LAN and you select the Enable radio button, the wireless access point receives its dynamic IPv6 address, prefix length, and default gateway settings automatically from the DHCPv6 server on your network when you connect the wireless access point to your LAN. IPv6 Address Enter the IP address of your wireless access point. The default IP address is 2001::21c:c0ff:fe69. To change the address, enter an unused IPv6 address from the address range used on your LAN. Prefix Length Enter the prefix length for the IPv6 address. The default prefix length us 64. Default Gateway Enter the IPv6 address of the ISP gateway to which the wireless access point connects. Dynamic IPv6 Address The dynamic IPv6 address that is assigned by the DHCPv6 server on your network. This address does not overwrite the address in the IPv6 Address field. Primary DNS Server Secondary DNS Server Enter the IP address of the primary and secondary DNS servers. A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www.netgear.com) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP address of one or two DNS servers to your wireless access point during login. If the ISP does not transfer an address, you must obtain it from the ISP and enter it manually in this field. Network Integrity Check Select this check box to validate that the upstream link is active before allowing wireless associations. Ensure that the default gateway is configured. 3.

Configure Spanning Tree Protocol, 802.1Q VLAN, and Link Layer Discovery Protoco As part of the advanced system configuration, you can enable the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), configure the VLANs, and enable Ethernet Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) as described in the following sections. • Configure STP and VLANs • Configure Ethernet LLDP Configure STP and VLANs STP provides network traffic optimization in locations where multiple wireless access points are active by preventing path redundancy. We recommend that you enable STP if you have more than one active wireless access point at your location. Advanced Configuration 73
