Configuring VLAN Support
which can be the management VLAN or the default VLAN of any configured
SSID interface. Traffic passed to the wired network from the untagged VLAN
does not include a VLAN tag.
Similarly, traffic received from the wired network must be tagged with a
known VLAN ID, either an assigned client VLAN ID, a default VLAN ID, or the
management VLAN ID. Received traffic that has no tag is passed to the access
point’s untagged VLAN, if configured, otherwise it is dropped. Received traffic
that has an unknown VLAN ID or is tagged with the VLAN ID of the configured
untagged VLAN is dropped.
When VLAN support is disabled, the access point does not tag traffic passed
to the wired network and ignores VLAN tags on any received frames.
Before enabling VLAN tagging on the access point, be sure to configure the
attached network switch port to support IEEE 802.1Q tagged VLAN frames
from the access point’s management VLAN ID, default VLAN IDs, and other
client VLAN IDs. Otherwise, connectivity to the access point will be lost when
you enable the VLAN support.
No t e Enabling or disabling VLAN support using the Web or CLI requires a system
reboot.
Web: Enabling VLAN Support
The Management window on the Administration tab to configure VLAN support
and set a management VLAN ID.
The web interface enables you to modify these parameters:
■ VLAN Enable: Sets the VLAN tagging support on the access point.
Changing the VLAN support forces a reboot.
• Disable: The access point does not tag traffic passing to the wired
network and ignores the VLAN tags on any received frames.
• Static: Enables VLAN tagging. Clients are assigned to the default
VLAN ID of the associated SSID interface. VLAN assignment from a
RADIUS server is not allowed.
• Dynamic: Enables VLAN tagging. VLAN IDs are assigned from a
RADIUS server, if configured. Otherwise, clients are assigned to the
default VLAN ID of the associated SSID interface.
■ Management VLAN ID: The VLAN ID that traffic must have to be able
to manage the access point. (Range 1-4094; Default: 1)
