Hi everyone,
I´ve a question regarding a XG 115 Appliance which should actually only work as a Wifi Protection. The XG is behind a managed switch (where the clients and APs are connected) which in turn is behind a router.
The XG has 4 eth ports 1 (LAN) 2 (WAN) 3 (DMZ) 4 (not labeled).
First my configuration was the following:
- Port 1 LAN -> connected to Switch / Router
- Port 2 WAN -> connected to Router / Switch
It was not possible for the APs to reach the XG.
I spend a few time to find out, that the only way the XG is noticing the APs was to change the configuration of the XG ports to:
- Port 1 WAN -> connected to Switch / Router
- Port 2 LAN -> connected to Router / Switch
It looks like ir doesn´t matter how the ports are connected to switch or router.
I also tried what also was not functional:
- Port 2 WAN
- Port 4 LAN
I suspect I have a mistake.
Can anyone explain why the XG is only noticing APs when Port 2 (labeled as WAN) is manually configured to LAN? Thanks!
