Setting uplink/downlink is an AP environment level setting, easiest done through the UI by editing the specific AP, navigating to the uplink option, and setting E1 to downlink. Through the CLI you need to set the AP environment variable, which is not a configuration item, and then reboot the AP.
~ ap-env enet1_mode downlink
~ ap-env enet1_mode uplink

I have a working setup with the ap, but now I want to add a cabled device that should get an ip from my router via dhcp. The ap has a static ip in the same network. Most of the config is done via cli.
Here's some info:
ap79# show ver:
ArubaOS (MODEL: 325), Version 8.10.0.21 LSR
ap79# show uplink status
Uplink preemption :enable
Uplink preemption interval :600
Uplink enforce :none
Uplink wired-1 :DHCP
Internet failover :disable
Max allowed test packet loss :10
Secs between test packets :30
VPN failover timeout (secs) :180
Internet check timeout (secs) :10
AP1X type:NONE
Certification type:NONE
Validate server:NONE

are you configuring it through CLI? what is the exact firmware version? also paste the output of "sh uplink status" and "sh uplink config"
i suggest connect the E0 to a LAN switch with DHCP and confirm that the IAP works and then configure the E1 as downlink.

That is exactly what I'm trying do. It seems, whatever I do, eth1 shows up as WAN when "show uplink status". Specifying "no uplinik" in the profile I assign to eth1 has no effect. Also tried other variants. Running out of ideas...

Have you tried setting the Eth1 as Downlink, and keep Eth0 as uplink? Be extra careful not to loop the L2 traffic.

Hello,
This is an iap325 running 8.10 and I'm trying to add eth1 to a bridge to be able to get wired dhcp on the same network/vlan as eth0, but I cannot get it to NOT show as WAN...? To simplify and try to understand, I have connected eth0 to an access-port, no trunking. Still does not work. What am I doing wrong?
