connectivity, but it requires VLAN numbering be managed carefully to avoid conflicts
between two VLANs with the same ID.
5. Define a 32 character maximum VLAN Name.
Enter a unique name that identifies members of the VLAN. Motorola recommends selecting
the name carefully, as the VLAN name should signify a group of clients with a common set
of requirements independent of their physical location.
6. Click Ok to save the changes to the new or modified VLAN.
7. From the LAN Configuration screen, click the WLAN Mapping button. The Mapping
Configuration screen displays.
8. Enter a Management VLAN Tag for LAN1 and LAN2.
The Management VLAN uses a default tag value of 1. The Management VLAN is used to
distinguish VLAN traffic flows for the LAN. The trunk port marks the frames with special
tags as they pass between the access point and its destination, these tags help distinguish
data traffic.
Authentication servers (such as Radius) must be on the same Management VLAN.
Additionally, DHCP and BOOTP servers must be on the same Management VLAN as well.
9. Define a Native VLAN Tag for LAN1 and LAN2.
A trunk port configured with 802.1Q tagging can receive both tagged and untagged traffic.
By default, the access point forwards untagged traffic with the native VLAN configured for
the port. The Native VLAN is VLAN 1 by default. Motorola suggests leaving the Native VLAN
set to 1 as other layer 2 devices also have their Native VLAN set to 1.
10. Define a Native VLAN Tagging Mode for LAN1 and LAN2.
11. Use the Native VLANTagging Mode drop-down menu to select the VLAN as tagged or
untagged.
Motorola recommends mapping VLANs strategically in order to keep VLANs tied to the
discipline they most closely match. For example, If WLAN1 is comprised of MUs supporting
the sales area, then WLAN1 should be mapped to sales if a sales VLAN has been already
been created.
12. Click OK to return to the LAN screen. Once at the LAN screen, click Apply to re-apply your
changes.
