setting up a single vlan workgroup

The VLAN feature enables all wireless clients that access the network through the same WL520 to be configured as members

of the same VLAN. In this scenario, each wireless NIC 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 NIC in Slot A = 0 or a number between 1 and 4094

VLAN ID for Wireless NIC in Slot B = 0 or a number between 1 and 4094

typical vlan management id configuration scenarios

making the wl520 a vlan member to control management access

Management access to the WL520 can easily be secured by making management stations or hosts and the WL520 device

itself members of a common VLAN. Simply configure a non-zero management VLAN ID and enable VLAN to restrict

management of the WL520 device to members of the same VLAN.
1. In the Web Interface, click the

Configure

button and select the

Network

tab.

2. Select the

VLAN

sub-tab.

3. Set the

VLAN Management ID

to a value between1 and 4094 (a value of 0 disables VLAN management).

4. Place a checkmark in the Enable VLAN Protocol box.

NOTE:

If a non-zero management VLAN ID is configured then management access to the WL520 is restricted to wired or

wireless hosts that are members of the same VLAN. Ensure your management platform or host is a member of the

same VLAN before attempting to manage the WL520 device.
