20.1 Overview

This chapter discusses how to configure VLAN on the NWA.
A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned
into multiple logical networks. Stations on a logical network can belong to one or
more groups. Only stations within the same group can talk to each other.
Figure 142 VLAN Example
In the figure above, the NWA allows station A to connect to the internet but not to
the server. It allows station B to connect to the server but not to the Internet.

20.2 What You Can Do in the VLAN Screen

• Use the Wireless VLAN screen
configure your Wireless Virtual LAN setup. The NWA tags all packets from an
SSID with the VLAN ID you set in this screen.
• Use the Radius VLAN screen
RADIUS Virtual LAN setup. Your RADIUS server assigns VLAN IDs to a user or
user group's traffic based on what you set in this screen.
