VAP / VLAN Settings
Overview
As the number of data-based systems increase, it becomes more and more difficult to provide
the network infrastructure (due to the sheer number of Ethernet connections that need to be
provided) from the perspective of cost, space, and wire management. Luckily, the advent
technology called VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) can achieve her mission. Now it is
possible for these multi devices to be multi devices in function without the need for multiple
physical network APs.

Under this mode, the AG-3621 access point can behave as 8 virtual Wireless LAN
infrastructures.You can specify unique SSID for these different infrastructures. For example,
VLAN1 contains ETH1 and STA1, VLAN2 contains ETH2 and STA2, and so on. However,
they all share the same AG-3621 and undertake different tasks. Some VLANs can be used for
guest Internet access, others for enterprise users, and administrators can be put on a high
security VLAN with enhanced firewall permissions. All this can be achieved using a single
infrastructure to emulate up to 8 infrastructures. The AG-3621 AP does this by assigning each
of the 8 VLANs it’s own SSID, so you will think you are looking at up to 8different wireless
networks.
