CONFIGURATION : Wireless Setup: Wireless Pseudo VLAN
The Wireless Pseudo VLAN feature on the router is exclusively created to solve the
problem of privacy and data protection, to provide multiple levels of inter-client security.
It is a natural extension of the Ethernet-based VLAN onto the wireless network in a
corporation or even in a public ‘hotspot’ establishment.
Wireless Pseudo VLAN segregates a single wireless LAN into multiple virtual LANs.
Communication is only possible between wireless nodes of the same VLAN, and the
router allows you to create a virtual LAN containing either a single wireless user, or a
group of users. We call this Per Node and Per Group Wireless Pseudo VLAN respectively.
Per Node Wireless Pseudo VLAN
Per Node Wireless Pseudo VLAN, if implemented, segregates every wireless user, or node,
in its own Pseudo VLAN. As illustrated in the figure below, while access to the Internet is
unrestricted, wireless clients may not communicate with one another. This
implementation of Wireless Pseudo VLAN is most suitable for public premises such as Wi-Fi
‘hotspots’ at coffee joints or the airport. Users who log onto such wireless networks can be
certain that their files will not be subjected to prying eyes.
