It means that spaces are allowed within the SSID, but not as the first or last
character, and the period "." (ASCII 0x2E) is also allowed.

VLAN IDs

Each VAP is associated with a VLAN, which is identified by a VLAN ID (VID). A VID
can be any value from 1 to 4094, inclusive. The Cisco WAP131 supports five active
VLANs (four for WLAN plus one management VLAN). The Cisco WAP351 supports
17 active VLANs (16 for WLAN plus one management VLAN).
By default, the VID assigned to the configuration utility for the WAP device is 1,
which is also the default untagged VID. If the management VID is the same as the
VID assigned to a VAP, then the WLAN clients associated with this specific VAP
can administer the WAP device. If needed, an access control list (ACL) can be
created to disable administration from WLAN clients.

Configuring VAPs

To configure VAPs:
Select Wireless > Networks.
In the Radio field, click the radio interface to which the VAP configuration
parameters are applied.
If VAP0 is the only VAP configured on the system, and you want to add a VAP, click
Add. Then, check the VAP and click Edit.
Check Enable for the VAP that you want to configure.
Configure these parameters:
• VLAN ID—Specify the VID of the VLAN to associate with the VAP.
Be sure to enter a VLAN ID that is properly configured on the network.
Network problems can result if the VAP associates the wireless clients with
an improperly configured VLAN.
When a wireless client connects to the WAP device by using this VAP, the
WAP device tags all traffic from the wireless client with the VLAN ID that you
enter in this field, unless you enter the port VLAN ID or use a RADIUS server
to assign a wireless client to a VLAN. The range for the VLAN ID is from 1 to
4094.
