VLAN ID to service set ID assignment
All wireless clients associated to the access point are assigned to a
VLAN. If IEEE 802.1X is being used to authenticate wireless clients,
specific VLAN IDs can be configured on the RADIUS server to be
assigned to each client. If a client is not assigned to a specific VLAN or
if 802.1X is not used, the client is assigned to the default VLAN for the
VAP interface with which it is associated. The access point only allows
traffic tagged with assigned VLAN IDs or default VLAN IDs to access
clients associated on each VAP interface.
When VLAN support is enabled on the access point, traffic passed to
the wired network is tagged with the appropriate VLAN ID, either an
assigned client VLAN ID, default VLAN ID, or the management VLAN
ID. Traffic received from the wired network must also be tagged with
one of these known VLAN IDs. Received traffic that has an unknown
VLAN ID or no VLAN tag is dropped.
When VLAN support is disabled, the access point does not tag traffic
passed to the wired network and ignores the VLAN tags on any received
frames.
