VLAN
The access point supports filtering of up to 64 VLANs (virtual local area networks).
The VLAN IDs must be configured for each client on one of the servers specified
on the RADIUS configuration page.
When VLAN filtering is enabled, the access point queries the server for the
VLAN IDs of associating clients and saves the VLAN IDs. If a client does not have a
VLAN ID, the access point assigns its own native VLAN ID to that client.
To enable VLAN filtering, enter a VLAN ID (a number between 1 and 4095) in the
Native VLAN ID
field and select
VLAN Enable.
When VLAN filtering is disabled, the access point ignores VLAN-tagged frames.
