Typical VLAN Management Configurations

• Control Access to the AP
Management access to the AP can easily be secured by making management stations or
hosts and the AP itself members of a common VLAN. Simply configure a non-zero
management VLAN ID and enable VLAN to restrict management of the AP to members
of the same VLAN.
If a non-zero management VLAN ID is configured then management access to the AP is
restricted to wired or wireless hosts that are members of the same VLAN. Ensure your
management platform or host is a member of the same VLAN before attempting to
manage the AP.
• Provide Access to a Wireless Host in the Same Workgroup
This VLAN feature can allow wireless clients to manage the AP. If the VLAN
Management ID matches a VLAN User ID, then those wireless clients who are
members of that VLAN will have AP management access.
Once a VLAN Management ID is configured and is equivalent to one of the VLAN User IDs
on the AP, all members of that User VLAN will have management access to the AP. Be
careful to restrict VLAN membership to those with legitimate access to the AP.
