You also specify each port as either "trunk" or "access", and which VLANs are available, and which is the untagged or "native" VLAN. (This is all specified on the Mobility Controller via the "Configuration > AP Configuration > AP group > Edit (group) > AP" section, using the "Ethernet Interface" config and a "Wired AP" config). Also, assuming that your switch provides POE AT to the AP-205H, then the e3 port on the bottom can output POE AF, e.g. a single wall jack powers the AP, and then the AP's e3 POE port can power a desk VoIP phone, and if the VoIP phone has an expansion port as well, you can plug a desktop into that. There is also one "passthrough" port which is a straight physical connection from a jack on the back of the AP to the leftmost jack on the bottom of the AP. This is helpful if you are mounting the AP on a wall plate that had two ethernet ports. Then you can plug one into the AP, and have the other come out the bottom as a standard wired port; where we had two jacks available, using the passthrough is a simpler config on the wired switch ports. We found it helpful to plug port locks into the unused ports on the bottom of the AP, e.g. so that we don't get people complaining about the non-working, unconnected, passthrough port at locations where there was only a single ethernet jack. To do these extra settings, we've split our 205H APs into different AP groups that the surrounding ceiling-mounted APs, so that the extra port config stuff doesn't conflict with the eth1 config of any of our AP-225s. But I believe that if either you don't use eth1 on any existing APs, or if you don't need e1 on the AP-205H, you could have one group do both kinds of APs.
