any of these values, the radio bridges the frame. Otherwise, it is

A VLAN is essentially a limited broadcast domain, meaning that all
members of a VLAN receive broadcast frames sent by members of the
same VLAN but not frames sent by members of a different VLAN.
The SD supports port-based VLAN at the Ethernet interface and over
the air, according to the IEEE 802.1Q standard. When VLAN Mode is
enabled, the wireless port of both AP and remote radios act as a trunk
port.
The Ethernet port of an AP radio is normally configured as a trunk port.
This type of port expects incoming frames to have a VLAN ID and sends
outgoing frames with a VLAN structure as well. The Ethernet port of a
Remote radio can be configured as an access port or as a trunk port.
When the Ethernet port of a Remote radio is configured as an Access
Port, the radio tags incoming traffic with a VLAN ID, and strips the tag
before sending out traffic. This traffic is known as the DATA VLAN.
Additionally, a second VLAN is assigned for other traffic that is termi-
nated at the radio, such as Web, Telnet, DLINK over TCP, TFTP repro-
gramming, etc. This traffic is known as the management VLAN. Traffic
directed to the terminal server or IP payload service should be sent via
the DATA VLAN.
