Configuring Virtual Access Points
You can partition the wireless network into wireless VLANs called virtual access points
(VAPs). You can use VAPs to grant different permissions to groups of wireless users, by
configuring each VAP with the desired security policy and network settings, and then
assigning each group of wireless users to the relevant VAP. For more information on
VAPs, see Overview on page 263.
Note: While virtual access points (VAPs) can have different security settings and
network names, all VAPs inherit the following wireless settings from the primary
WLAN:
• Country
• Operation Mode
• Channel
• Transmission Rate
• Transmitter Power
• Antenna Selection
For information on configuring these settings in the primary WLAN, see Manually
Configuring a Wireless Network on page 280.
Note: To enable VAPs, you must first enable the primary WLAN network. If you
disable the primary WLAN network, all VAPs are automatically disabled.
The procedure below explains how to add or edit a VAP. For information on deleting a
VAP, see Deleting VLANs on page 181.
To add or edit a VAP
