Each radio supports up to four virtual access point (VAP) interfaces
numbered 0 to 3. Each VAP functions as a separate access point, and can
be configured with its own Service Set Identification (SSID) and security
settings. However, most radio signal parameters apply to all VAP interfaces
on the same radio.
The VAPs function similar to a VLAN, with each VAP mapped to its own
VLAN ID. Traffic to specific VAPs can be segregated based on user groups
or application traffic. Note: Each radio interface supports a maximum of 64
users regardless of the number of VAPs enabled on the radio.
Note: The radio channel settings for the access point are limited by local
regulations, which determine the number of channels that are available.

"Regulatory compliances" (page 111)

Slot 0 - Radio A (802.11a)
The IEEE 802.11a interface operates within the 5 GHz band, at up to 54
Mb/s in normal mode or up to 108 Mb/s in Turbo mode.
First configure the radio settings that apply to the individual VAPs (Virtual
Access Point) and the common radio settings that apply to the overall
system. After you have configured the radio settings, go to the Security
page under the 802.a Interface (For further information, see
"Security"
(page 91)
), enable the radio service for any of the VAP interfaces, and then
set an SSID to identify the wireless network service provided by each VAP.
Remember that only clients with the same SSID can associate with a VAP.
Note: You must first enable VAP interface 0 before the other interfaces
can be enabled.
