VLAN Commands
The wireless bridge can enable the support of VLAN-tagged traffic passing between
the wireless interface and the wired network.
When VLAN support is enabled, the wireless bridge tags traffic passing to the wired
network with the assigned native VLAN ID (a number between 1 and 64). Traffic
received from the wired network must also be tagged with the same VLAN ID.
Received traffic that has an unknown VLAN ID or no VLAN tag is dropped.
When VLAN support is disabled, the wireless bridge does not tag traffic passing to
the wired network and ignores the VLAN tags on any received frames.
Note: Before enabling VLANs on the wireless bridge, you must configure the connected
LAN switch port to accept tagged VLAN packets with the
wireless bridge’s native
VLAN ID. Otherwise, connectivity to the
wireless bridge will be lost when you
enable the VLAN feature.
The VLAN commands supported by the wireless bridge are listed below.
