VAP Introduction

VAP Guidelines

104
Virtual access points (VAPs) are independent broadcast domains that
function as the wireless equivalent of Ethernet VLANs. They are seen by
clients as independent access points, with their own VIDs, SSIDs, and
security methods.
VAP parameters are divided into these two groups:
"Configuring Basic VAP Parameters" on page 105

"Configuring VAP Security" on page 110

Here are guidelines to configuring VAP:
Each radio can have up to eight VAPs. Allied Telesis recommends

no more than five VAPs per radio for best performance.
The VAPs are numbered from 0 to 15.

You can enable or disable the VAPs individually, except for VAP0,

which can only be disabled by disabling its radio.
You can enable 16 VAPs per radio.

The VAPs of a radio can have different security methods.

VAPs can have the same or different VLAN IDs.

The available VAP securities are Static WEP, WPA Personal, and

WPA Enterprise. OSEN is not supported.
Static WEP can be selected only when the Radio mode is set to

IEEE 802.11b/g or IEEE 802.11a.
The IEEE802.11u setting is not supported.

Passpoint is not supported.
