Network Count Limitations
You can configure a total of eight wireless objects, including any combination of the
following:
• The primary WLAN
• Up to three virtual access points (VAPs)
• Up to seven WDS links
For example, if you configure the primary WLAN and two VAPs, then you can configure
five WDS links, or one more VAP and four WDS links.
When Extended Range (XR) mode is enabled for a wireless object, then it is counted as
two objects. For example, if you configure XR mode for the primary WLAN and one
VAP, they are counted as four wireless objects.
For information on default security policy rules controlling traffic to and from the primary
WLAN and VAPs, see Default Security Policy on page 393.
