20.3 Technical Reference
This section provides some technical background information and configuration
examples about the topics covered in this chapter.
20.3.1 VLAN Tagging
The NWA supports IEEE 802.1q VLAN tagging. Tagged VLAN uses an explicit tag
(VLAN ID) in the MAC header of a frame to identify VLAN membership. The NWA
can identify VLAN tags for incoming Ethernet frames and add VLAN tags to
outgoing Ethernet frames.
Note: You must connect the NWA to a VLAN-aware device that is a member of the
management VLAN in order to perform management. See the Configuring
Management VLAN example BEFORE you configure the VLAN screens.
20.3.2 Configuring Management VLAN Example
This section shows you how to create a VLAN on an Ethernet switch.
By default, the port on the NWA is a member of the management VLAN (VLAN ID
1). The following procedure shows you how to configure a tagged VLAN.
Note: Use the out-of-band management port or console port to configure the switch if
you misconfigure the management VLAN and lock yourself out from performing
in-band management.

DESCRIPTION
Type a name to have the NWA check for specific VLAN attributes on
incoming messages from the RADIUS server. Access-accept packets
sent by the RADIUS server contain VLAN related attributes. The
configured Name fields are checked against these attributes. If a
configured Name field matches these attributes, the corresponding
VLAN ID is added to packets sent from this user to the LAN.
If the VLAN-related attributes sent by the RADIUS server do not
match a configured Name field, a wireless station is assigned the
wireless VLAN ID associated with its SSID (unless the Block station
if RADIUS server assign VLAN error! check box is selected).
Click Apply to save your changes to the NWA.
