Performing Advanced Configuration
The three primary scenarios for using VLAN workgroups are as follows:
1. VLAN disabled: Your network does not use VLANs, and you cannot configure the AP to use multiple SSIDs.
2. VLAN enabled, each VLAN workgroup uses a different VLAN ID Tag
3. VLAN enabled, a mixture of Tagged and Untagged workgroups

Control Access to the AP
Management access to the AP can easily be secured by making management stations or hosts and the AP itself
members of a common VLAN. Simply configure a non-zero management VLAN ID and enable VLAN to restrict
management of the AP to members of the same VLAN.
CAUTION
!
If a non-zero management VLAN ID is configured then management access to the AP is restricted to wired or
wireless hosts that are members of the same VLAN. Ensure your management platform or host is a member
of the same VLAN before attempting to manage the AP.
1. Click Configure > SSID/VLAN/Security.
2. Set the VLAN Management ID to a value between -1 and 4094 (a value of 0 disables VLAN management).
3. Place a check mark in the Enable VLAN Protocol box.
Provide Access to a Wireless Host in the Same Workgroup
The VLAN feature can allow wireless clients to manage the AP. If the VLAN Management ID matches a VLAN User ID,
then those wireless clients who are members of that VLAN will have AP management access.
CAUTION
!
Once a VLAN Management ID is configured and is equivalent to one of the VLAN User IDs on the AP, all
members of that User VLAN will have management access to the AP. Be careful to restrict VLAN membership
to those with legitimate access to the AP.
1. Click Configure > SSID/VLAN/Security.
2. Set the VLAN Management ID to use the same VLAN ID as one of the configured SSID/VLAN pairs. See
User VLAN Configurations
3. Place a check mark in the Enable VLAN Protocol box.
Disable VLAN Management
1. Click Configure > SSID/VLAN/Security.
2. Remove the check mark from the Enable VLAN Protocol box to disable all VLAN functionality.
