The VLAN-capable WL520 supports configuration of both “tagged” and “untagged” user VLANs.
A “tagged” user VLAN is created when a VLAN ID between 1 and 4094 (per the 802.1Q standard) is configured for one of
the wireless NICs and VLAN is enabled. The WL520 applies a VLAN header to tag traffic from wireless clients (members of a
“tagged” VLAN) and transmits the traffic as appropriate, on either the wired or wireless backbone.
An “untagged” User VLAN is created when a VLAN ID of 0 is configured for one of the wireless NICs and VLAN is enabled.
Traffic received from wireless clients (members of an “untagged” VLAN) is transmitted as appropriate, on either the wired or
wireless backbone. “Untagged” User VLANs enable VLANs to coexist on networks with non-VLAN capable devices such as
legacy servers.
To configure this scenario, set up only one workgroup by configuring one tagged interface and one untagged interface:
Q
VLAN ID for Wireless NIC in Slot A = 0 or a number between 1 and 4094
Q
VLAN ID for Wireless NIC in Slot B = 0 or a number between 1 and 4094
NOTE:
Either the wireless NIC in Slot A or the wireless NIC in Slot B must be set to 0.
