Figure 1-5
The 802.1Q VLAN protocol on the Wireless Management System logically separates traffic on the
same physical network. The settings apply only to the Wireless Management System.
Untagged VLANs
When the Untagged VLAN checkbox is selected, one VLAN can be configured as an untagged
VLAN.
For each Profile group upto 8 VLANS can be configured per radio, for example, a maximum of 15
SSIDs per group for both the radios. The actual VLANs active depends on the active SSIDs and
access point that is deployed. If the access point is ProSafe Dual band, such as the WNDAP350,
then all 16 can be active. If it is ProSafe single band then only 8 SSIDs can be active. If it is a
SoHo access point, then only one SSID will be active.
The Wireless Management System itself can support 2 VLANs, one management VLAN and one
untagged VLAN.
When the Wireless Management System sends frames associated with the untagged VLAN out the
LAN (Ethernet) interface, those frames will be untagged. When the Wireless Management System
receives untagged traffic from the LAN (Ethernet) interface, those frames are assigned to the
untagged VLAN.
