Passthrough
A wired port that facilitates extension of the wired network after the AP is mounted on the wall or stand. You can plug-in another device to the passthrough port of the AP. The traffic on the passthrough port does not interfere with the AP traffic. You cannot apply any policies on the passthrough port traffic.
