On an AP460C or an <SPAN>AP510C, can I configure a secondary port so that I can connect a wired device to it? In essence use the access point as a switch?<BR /><BR />TIA,<BR /><BR />Jorge</SPAN> Mon, 02 May 2022 23:05:51 GMT JorgeA 2022-05-02T23:05:51Z https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/extremecloud-iq/can-i-connect-a-wired-device-to-the-second-port-of-an-access/m-p/79214#M1683 I apologize for the newbie question but I can't seem to find an answer to this question - I suspect it it too obvious.

You'd want to do this by setting up a device template, and setting the port to allow user authentication. Here's a quick picture from my lab showing the settings I'm talking about in a device template:<BR /><BR /> <DIV class="media" style="overflow: hidden"><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="Lbnpi9cSSrmyO4JtAfJV_32.png"><img src="https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/3721i4662EC675E10A704/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="Lbnpi9cSSrmyO4JtAfJV_32.png" alt="Lbnpi9cSSrmyO4JtAfJV_32.png" /></span><BR /><A href="https://docs.aerohive.com/330000/docs/help/english/ng/Content/gui/configuration/configuring-ap-device-template.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">This page reviews the available device template settings</A> in more detail.
