7.2 VLAN Support
The AP provides a robust and flexible virtual local area network (VLAN) implementation that
supports a wide variety of scenarios.
For example, VLANs can be used to isolate management from user traffic, or to route traffic over a
local mesh connection.
You can map user traffic to a VLAN for each virtual service community (VSC) or on a per-user basis
by setting the appropriate RADIUS attributes in a user’s account.
Up to 80 VLAN definitions can be created. VLAN ranges are supported enabling a single definition
to span a range of VLAN IDs.
The following AP features can be supported on a VLAN:
„
Management tool access
„
SNMP access
„
SOAP access
For examples that illustrate how to work with VLANs, see the Deployment Guide.
7.2.1 Using a Default VLAN
You can configure port 1 or port 2 with a default VLAN setting so that any outgoing traffic that is
not tagged with a VLAN ID receives the default ID.
You can restrict this default VLAN to carry management traffic only, which includes the following:
„
All traffic that is exchanged with the access controller (login authentication requests/replies)
„
All traffic that is exchanged with external RADIUS servers
„
HTTPS sessions established by administrators to the management tool
„
Incoming and outgoing SNMP traffic
„
DNS requests and replies
To assign a default VLAN, see “Port Configuration” on page 116 .
