Using the Configuration Screens

Using the example outlined above, this section describes how to use the configuration screens to

configure VLANs on your access point.

To create and enable VLANs on your access point you must complete the following procedures:

1. Obtain and record the VLAN ID and setup information for the switch to which your access point

will communicate.

2. Create and configure the VLANs on your access point.

3. Create and configure the SSIDs to which the VLANs will associate.

4. Enable VLAN (802.1Q) tagging.

5. Identify the native VLAN.

Obtaining and Recording VLAN ID and Setup Information

See your organization’s network administrator to obtain the information you need to create VLANs on

your access point. For this example, Table 4-2 lists the information required to configure the VLANs on

the access point.

SSID = Part-time

SSID = Maintenance
