Dual-Band Wireless AC Access Point WAC720 and WAC730 User Manual Setting Description DHCP Client By default, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client is disabled. If your LAN includes a DHCPv6 server and you select the Enable radio button, the 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 access point to your LAN. IPv6 Address Enter the IP address of your access point.The default IPv6 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 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 Enter the IP address of the primary and secondary DNS servers. A DNS server is a host Secondary DNS Server 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 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 WiFi associations. Ensure that the default gateway is configured. 6. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved. Configure Spanning Tree Protocol, 802.1Q VLAN, and Link Layer Discovery Protocol 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 on page 102 • Configure Ethernet LLDP on page 104 Configure STP and VLANs STP provides network traffic optimization in locations where multiple access points are active by preventing path redundancy. If your location includes more than one active access point, we recommend that you enable STP. The 802.1Q VLAN protocol on the access point logically separates traffic on the same physical network. The access point supports the following types of VLANs: • Untagged VLAN. When the access point sends frames that are associated with the untagged VLAN from its Ethernet interface, those frames are untagged. When the access point receives untagged frames over its Ethernet interface, those frames are assigned to the untagged VLAN. Configure Advanced Network and WiFi Features 102

LAN includes a DHCPv6 server and you select the Enable radio button, the 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 access
point to your LAN.
DHCP Client
Enter the IP address of your access point.The default IPv6 address is 2001::21c:c0ff:fe69.
To change the address, enter an unused IPv6 address from the address range used on
your LAN.
IPv6 Address
Enter the prefix length for the IPv6 address. The default prefix length us 64.
Prefix Length
Enter the IPv6 address of the ISP gateway to which the access point connects.
Default Gateway
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.
Dynamic IPv6 Address
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

Configure Spanning Tree Protocol, 802.1Q VLAN, and Link
Layer Discovery Protocol
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
on page 102
•
Configure Ethernet LLDP
on page 104
Configure STP and VLANs
STP provides network traffic optimization in locations where multiple access points are active by preventing
path redundancy. If your location includes more than one active access point, we recommend that you
enable STP.
The 802.1Q VLAN protocol on the access point logically separates traffic on the same physical network.
The access point supports the following types of VLANs:
•
Untagged VLAN
. When the access point sends frames that are associated with the untagged VLAN
from its Ethernet interface, those frames are untagged. When the access point receives untagged frames
over its Ethernet interface, those frames are assigned to the untagged VLAN.
