13 Virtual Access Point (VAP) Configuration
An EL-500 has four virtual access points (VAPs) that can be configured to suit different
application needs. These VAPs share a common radio, but, with a few exceptions noted in this
chapter, can be configured independently. The availability of the four VAPs provides more
flexibility in configuration and catering to different user classes than a single AP does.
The interfaces for the VAPs will be referred to as ‘wlanN’ when it applies to any of
the four VAPs. ‘wlan1’ will be used in all examples.
