copy of the Dynamic VLAN database. This database houses the records of MAC addresses and VLAN
assignments. The VLAN database looks up the MAC to determine what VLAN is assigned to it. If it is
not in the database, it simply uses a default VLAN assignment. The VLAN assignment is sent to the
Altitude 35xx. The Altitude 35xx then maps the target WLAN for the assigned VLAN and traffic passes
normally, allowing for the completion of the DHCP request and further traffic.
To create new VLANs or edit the properties of an existing VLAN:
1 Select Network Configuration > LAN from the Altitude 35xx menu tree.
2 Ensure the Enable 802.1q Trunking button is selected from within the LAN Setting field.
Trunk links are required to pass VLAN information between destinations. A trunk port is by default
a member of all the VLANs existing on the Altitude 35xx and carry traffic for all those VLANs.
Trunking is a function that must be enabled on both sides of a link.
3 Select the VLAN Name button.
The VLAN name screen displays. The first time the screen is launched a default VLAN name of 1
and a default VLAN ID of 1 display. The VLAN name is auto-generated once the user assigns a
VLAN ID. However, the user has the option of re-assigning a name to the VLAN using New VLAN
and Edit VLAN screens.
To create a new VLAN, click the Add button, to edit the properties of an existing VLAN, click the
Edit button.
