information) is sent to the access point. The access point sends this MAC address to a host housing
a copy of the Dynamic VLAN database. This database houses the records of MAC addresses and
VLAN assignments. The VLAN database looks up the MAC to determine what VLAN is assigned to it.
If it is not in the database, it simply uses a default VLAN assignment. The VLAN assignment is sent
to the access point. The access point then maps the target WLAN for the assigned VLAN and traffic
passes normally, allowing for the completion of the DHCP request and further traffic.
To create new VLANs or edit the properties of an existing VLAN:
1.
Select
Network Configuration
->
LAN
from the access point menu tree.
2.
Ensure the
Enable 802.1q Trunking
button is selected from within the LAN Setting field.
Trunk links are required to pass VLAN information between destinations. A trunk port is by
default a member of all the VLANs existing on the access point and carry traffic for all those
VLANs. Trunking is a function that must be enabled on both sides of a link.
3.
Select the
VLAN Name
button.
