Setting Up a Single VLAN Workgroup
The VLAN feature enables all wireless clients that access the network through the same AP-2500, to be configured as
members of the same VLAN. In this scenario, each wireless card is configured with the same VLAN ID. The same
VLAN header or tag is then applied to all traffic received from wireless clients and transmitted on the wired or wireless
backbone. All wireless clients become members of the same VLAN.
To configure this scenario, set up one, large workgroup:
•
VLAN ID for Wireless card in Slot A = a number between 1 and 4094 (the same number as Slot B)
•
VLAN ID for Wireless card in Slot B = a number between 1 and 4094 (the same number as Slot A)
