A VLAN is essentially a limited broadcast domain, meaning that all
members of a VLAN receive broadcast frames sent by members of the
same VLAN but not frames sent by members of a different VLAN.
The radio supports port-based VLAN at the Ethernet interface and over
the air, according to the IEEE 802.1Q standard. When VLAN Mode is
enabled, the wireless port of both AP and Remote radios act as a Trunk
port.
The Ethernet port of an AP radio is normally configured as a trunk port.
This type of port expects incoming frames to have a VLAN ID and sends
outgoing frames with a VLAN structure as well. The Ethernet port of a
Remote radio can be configured as an Access port or as a Trunk port.
