Chapter 2 - Management
2.4.6.2 VLAN Management
The VLAN Management section controls individual VLANs according to the IEEE802.1Q standards.
Within the subsection for VLAN entries, each row represents one VLAN ID.
The first row is given by default. It is the native or untagged VLAN.

Add: Inserts a new row corresponding to a new VLAN. The IP address field should be distinct for
different devices.

Managed VLAN: Allows computers on this VLAN to access the device's configuration web page.

VLAN ID: Specifies the identifier for the VLAN. It is an integer from 2 to 4094. Let VID be this
number. The "eth0" port is tagged with VID to give "eth0.VID". This port can have multiple tags
corresponding to different VLANs. An "eth0.VID" port would only accept frames that have been
tagged with the VLAN ID VID.

Priority: Chooses the priority for transmitting packets. This is a number from 0 to 7. The number 7
represents the highest priority.

DHCP Client: Displays the DHCP client

IP address: Sets the IP address of the AP as seen by other devices on this VLAN.

Netmask: States the netmask of the subnet defined by this VLAN.

Bridge WIFI: Selects the wireless network for which its interface would be bridged to the "eth0.VID"
port. The choice All Others would select all other wireless networks that are currently not selected.

Wifi Tagging: Should be set to Enabled. This tags the Ethernet frames sent over Wifi. This does not
add a second tag (QinQ). The wireless interface "ath0" of this VLAN would be tagged to give
"ath0.VID" for example.

Description: Provides a short description of the VLAN.
