Support Data
There may be times when you want to view more detailed information about the configuration and operation of your node, or even forward this information to the AREDN |trade| team in order to get help with a problem. Click the *Download Support Data* button to save a compressed archive file to your local computer.
Advanced Network
----------------
If you have a supported multiport device (currently *Mikrotik hAP ac2* or *ac3* only), then you will see a menu option for **Advanced Network**. This provides a way for you to configure the ports on your multiport node. For more information on the AREDN |trade| VLANs being used, refer to the *Node VLANs* description in the **Basic Setup** section above.

Ports
The **Ports** section shows the available ports across the top and the possible configurations along the left side. The default configuration is as follows:
- The first port is configured as a WAN port. The data entry field to the right of the *vlan* label can contain any valid vlan identifier if it is required, typically in the range between 1 and 4094. The default for these multiport devices is no vlan (untagged), so leave the default unless there is a specific reason why it is required in your situation.
- The middle ports are configured as LAN ports with no vlan (untagged).
- The last port is configured for DtD linking to another AREDN |trade| node with vlan2 (tagged).
You should only have one box checked for each port. If you want to change a port's configuration, simply uncheck the existing box and check the box for the new setting on that port.
Xlinks
A cross-link allows your node to pass AREDN |trade| traffic across non-AREDN |trade| point-to-point RF links. To add a cross-link click the *plus* icon, enter an unused VLAN number for the link, the IP address of the near-side radio, the IP address of the far-side radio, a weighting factor, and the port to which the near-side radio is connected on your node. The *Weight* will be used by `OLSR <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimized_Link_State_Routing_Protocol>`_ to determine the best route for AREDN |trade| traffic. If you want to remove a cross-link, simply click the *minus* icon on the right side of the row to remove.
When you have finished making configuration changes to the ports and cross-links, click the *Save Changes* button. You will be notified if a reboot is required to activate your changes, and you can then click the *Reboot* button.
