forwarded to the provider port with a single VLAN tag. Tagged frames received on a subscriber port are forwarded to the
provider port with a double VLAN tag.
VLAN ID
VLAN ID is a 12-bit field specifying the VLAN to which the frame belongs.
Voice VLAN
Voice VLAN is VLAN configured specially for voice traffic. By adding the ports with voice devices attached to voice
VLAN, we can perform QoS-related configuration for voice data, ensuring the transmission priority of voice traffic and
voice quality.

WEP is an acronym for

rivacy. WEP is a deprecated algorithm to secure IEEE 802.11 wireless
networks. Wireless network broadcast messages using radio, so are more susceptible to eavesdropping than wired
networks. When introduced in 1999, WEP was intended to provide confidentiality comparable to that of a traditional
wired network (Wikipedia).
WiFi
WiFi is an acronym for
Wi

delity. It is meant to be used generically when referring of any type of 802.11 network,
whether 802.11b, 802.11a, dual-band, etc. The term is promulgated by the Wi-Fi Alliance.
WPA
WPA is an acronym for
W

ccess. It was created in response to several serious weaknesses researchers
had found in the previous system, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). WPA implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i
standard, and was intended as an intermediate measure to take the place of WEP while 802.11i was prepared. WPA is
specifically designed to also work with pre-WPA wireless network interface cards (through firmware upgrades), but not
necessarily with first generation wireless access points. WPA2 implements the full standard, but will not work with some
older network cards (Wikipedia).

ey. WPA was designed to enhance the security of
wireless networks. There are two flavors of WPA: enterprise and personal. Enterprise is meant for use with an IEEE
802.1X authentication server, which distributes different keys to each user. Personal WPA utilizes less scalable
'pre-shared key' (PSK) mode, where every allowed computer is given the same passphrase. In PSK mode, security
depends on the strength and secrecy of the passphrase. The design of WPA is based on a Draft 3 of the IEEE 802.11i
standard (Wikipedia)
