Configuring for VLANs
The RoamAbout AP supports the forwarding of tagged VLAN data. The RoamAbout R2
can be configured to forward VLAN data to specific endpoints. The Access Point 2000 can
only be configured to forward or not forward VLAN data. When forwarding VLAN data,
the Access Point 2000 forwards to all endpoints.
To configure a VLAN, define the VLAN and configure each port to handle data as follows:
• Tagged: The port forwards all incoming data from a defined VLAN, where the
incoming data is tagged.
• Untagged: The port forwards all incoming tagged data from a defined VLAN;
however, the port removes the VLAN ID from the outgoing frames. This feature
should only be used when the transmitting port is connected to a device in the network
that does not support VLANs.
• Forbidden: The port does not forward any data from a defined VLAN.
• None: The port does not forward any data from a defined VLAN (default setting). This
setting can only be configured manually and can be overridden by GVRP
The R2 can be configured with a maximum of 16 VLAN IDs, including default VLAN 1.
The VLANs can be statically or dynamically configured, or a mix of both. If the R2 has 16
VLANs where at least one was dynamically configured, manually adding another VLAN
will replace a dynamic VLAN.
NOTE: VLAN 1 is a default VLAN used by the R2 to allow
pass-through of untagged data. Changing the VLAN 1 default settings
could prevent the AP from forwarding untagged data.
NOTE: If you change the bridge mode to workgroup after setting up
VLANs, all VLAN configurations belonging to that membership will be
deleted with the exception of the default VLAN. All tagged ports will be
cleared.
