Radio Interface
Virtual APs (VAPs) Configuration
In addition to defining network characteristics for the default radio interface, you can define
network characteristics for up to seven VAPs per radio interface. Each default radio interface and
VAP has its own unique Service Set Identifier (SSID) with which clients can associate, using a
variety of security and authentication options.
Using Web Management to Configure Virtual APs
Select Radio Settings under the type of interface (802.11a or 802.11b/g) that you want to configure,
then scroll down to Virtual AP.

Description that you provide for this VAP.
Network Name (SSID) the name that you specify for the basic service set provided by this
VAP. All clients that want to connect to the wired LAN through this VAP must set their
SSIDs to this SSID.
Native VLAN ID is the VLAN ID for this VAP. The access point assigns this VLAN ID to all
client traffic using this VAP unless you assign unique VLAN IDs to clients through the
RADIUS server using RFC 3580 (Section 3.31) tunnel attributes. For more information on
tunnel attributes, see the description under radio interface.
