VLAN/SSID
The AP allows you to segment wireless networks into multiple
sub-networks based on Network Name (SSID) and VLAN membership.
A Network Name (SSID) identifies a wireless network. Clients associate
with Access Points that share its SSID. During installation, the
Setup
Wizard prompts you to configure one Network Name for each wireless
interface. After initial setup, the AP can be configured to support up to 16
SSIDs per wireless interface to segment wireless networks based on
VLAN membership.
NOTE:
For Dual-radio APs: APs with an 11a Upgrade Kit or 802.11b/g Kit
support up to 16 VLAN/SSID pairs. APs with an 802.11b PC Card or
a 5 GHz Upgrade Kit support only one VLAN/SSID per radio.
VLAN Overview
Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are logical groupings of network
hosts. Defined by software settings, other VLAN members or resources
appear (to clients) to be on the same physical segment, no matter where
they are attached on the logical LAN or WAN segment. They simplify
traffic flow between clients and their frequently-used or restricted
resources.
