You can configure each VAP to use a different VLAN, or you can configure multiple VAPs to use the same VLAN, whether
the VLAN is on the same radio or on a different radio. VAP0, which is always enabled on both radios, is assigned to the default
VLAN 1.
The AP adds VLAN ID tags to wireless client traffic based on the VLAN ID you configure on the VAP page or by using the
RADIUS server assignment. If you use an external RADIUS server, you can configure multiple VLANs on each VAP. The
external RADIUS server assigns wireless clients to the VLAN when the clients associate and authenticate.
You can configure up to four global IPv4 or IPv6 RADIUS servers. One of the servers always acts as a primary while the
others act as backup servers. The network type (IPv4 or IPv6) and accounting mode are common across all configured
RADIUS servers. You can configure each VAP to use the global RADIUS server settings, which is the default, or you can
configure a per-VAP RADIUS server set. You can also configure separate RADIUS server settings for each VAP. For
example, you can configure one VAP to use an IPv6 RADIUS server while other VAPs use the global IPv4 RADIUS server
settings you configure.
If wireless clients use a security mode that does not communicate with the RAIDUS server, or if the RADIUS server does
not provide the VLAN information, you can assign a VLAN ID to each VAP. The AP assigns the VLAN to all wireless clients
that connect to the AP through that VAP.
Note: Before you configure VLANs on the AP, be sure to verify that the switch and DHCP server the AP uses can
support IEEE 802.1Q VLAN encapsulation.
To set up multiple VAPs, click Manage > VAP.
