Using Vlans - Allen-Bradley Stratix 5100 User Manual

Using VLANs

The radio settings page appears.
6. Check Enable.
7. Click Apply.
Your access point is now running but requires additional configuring to conform
to your network operational and security requirements.
If you use VLANs on your wireless LAN and assign SSIDs to VLANs, you can
create multiple SSIDs by using any of the four security settings on the Express
Security page. However, if you don't use VLANs on your wireless LAN, the
security options that you can assign to SSIDs are limited because on the Easy
Setup page encryption settings and authentication types are linked.
Without VLANs, encryption settings (WEP and ciphers) apply to an interface,
such as the 2.4 GHz radio, and you cannot use more than one encryption setting
on an interface.
For example, when you create an SSID with static WEP with VLANs disabled,
you cannot create additional SSIDs with WPA authentication because they use
different encryption settings. If you find that the security setting for an SSID
conflicts with another SSID, you can delete one or more SSIDs to eliminate the
conflict.
