Set The 802.1Q Vlan And Management Vlan - NETGEAR WAC510 User Manual

Set the 802.1Q VLAN and Management VLAN

The 802.1Q VLAN protocol on the access point logically separates traffic on the same physical (wired)
network. This protocol can work with tagged and untagged VLANs, as follows:
• Untagged VLAN. The access point sends untagged frames from its Ethernet interface. Incoming
untagged frames are assigned to the untagged VLAN. By default, the untagged VLAN is VLAN 1. By
default, the access point functions with an untagged VLAN.
• Tagged VLAN. The access point tags all frames that it sends from its Ethernet interface. Only the
incoming frames that are tagged with known VLAN IDs are accepted.
The management VLAN is used for managing traffic such as Telnet, SNMP, and HTTP traffic to and from
the access point. Frames that belong to the management VLAN and that are sent over the trunk do not
receive an 802.1Q header. If a port is a member of a single VLAN, its traffic can be untagged.
To set the 802.1Q VLAN and management VLAN:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the access point or to
the access point directly through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The default user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password
are case-sensitive.
The Dashboard page displays.
4. Select Management > Configuration > System > Advanced > General.
5. To change the 802.1Q VLAN, either clear or select the Untagged VLAN check box:
• Untagged VLAN. By default, the Untagged VLAN check box is selected. The access point sends
untagged frames from its Ethernet interface. Incoming untagged frames are assigned to the untagged
VLAN. By default, the untagged VLAN is VLAN 1 but you can enter another VLAN ID in the field if
that VLAN ID is supported on your network.
• Tagged VLAN. Clear the Untagged VLAN check box only if the hubs and switches on your LAN
support the 802.1Q VLAN protocol. The access point tags all frames that it sends from its Ethernet
