ProSafe 16 AP Wireless Management System WMS5316 Reference Manual
If this checkbox is cleared, the Wireless Management System tags all outgoing LAN (Ethernet)
frames, and only accepts incoming frames that are tagged with known VLAN IDs.
Note: The untagged VLAN checkbox should only be cleared if the hubs or switches on
your LAN support the VLAN (802.1Q) standard. Likewise, the untagged VLAN
value should only be changed if the hubs and switches on your LAN support the
VLAN (802.1Q) standard.
Changing either of these values will result in a loss of IP connectivity if the hubs and switches on
your network have not yet been configured with the corresponding VLANs.
The Untagged VLAN checkbox must be cleared when either access point model WN802Tv2 or
access point model WG602v4 are managed, as those access points do not support 802.1Q VLAN
tagging.
Management VLANs
Management VLANs are used for managing traffic (Telnet, SNMP, and HTTP) to and from the
Wireless Management System and managed access points.
Frames belonging to the Management VLAN are not given any 802.1Q header when sent over the
trunk. If a port is in a single VLAN, it can be untagged. But if the port needs to be a member of
multiple VLANs, it must be tagged.
