VAP Config
This section provides configuration of each Virtual Access Point with settings such as Profile Name, ESSID,
and VLAN ID. To enable specific VAP, select the VAP from the drop-down list of Profile Name.
VAP: Disable
or
Enable
this VAP.
Profile Name: Name of the VAP profile for identity / management purposes.
ESSID: Extended Service Set Identifier (ESSID) serves as an identifier for clients to associate with the
specific VAP.
Network Mode –
Bridge
mode: the VAP operates transparently (i.e. no NAT, no DHCP) such that client
devices will be assigned a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server on the LAN side. The source IP address
of client traffic seen by the uplink gateway/switch will remain the original IP address of the client (in this
case,
192.168.1.31
, as shown in the diagram below).
Network Mode –
NAT
mode: the VAP operates like a Network Address Translation (NAT) device with a
built-in DHCP server on this SSID such that client devices will be assigned a dynamic IP address from the
configured DHCP pool on this SSID. After NAT conversion, the source IP address of client traffic seen by
the uplink gateway/switch will be the IP address of the AP (in this case,
192.168.1.1
, as shown in the
diagram below).
