Configuring a port for a specific VLAN on a 3Com 4500 switch

Let's say I have a 3Com 4500 10/100Mb switch deployed as an edge switch. 

In this instance, port 1 on this switch needs to be configured to support a Wireless AP connecting to a central Wireless Switch trough VLAN 1.

After connecting to the switch, either trough a serial cable or using telnet, the following commands need to be used to achieve this:

<4500>sys
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[4500]vlan 1
[4500-vlan1]description Wireless_Test
[4500-vlan1]interface Ethernet 1/0/1
[4500-Ethernet1/0/1]port link-type trunk
[4500-Ethernet1/0/1]port trunk permit vlan 1
[4500-Ethernet1/0/1]port trunk pvid vlan 1
[4500-Ethernet1/0/1]description Wireless_Test

After saving the configuration, any wireless clients should be able to connect to a Wireless AP plugged into port 1 and get a DHCP address.
