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.
CAUTION: 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.
NOTE: When VLAN is enabled, ensure that all devices in the network share the same VLAN ID.
1. Click Configure > SSID/VLAN/Security > Mgmt VLAN.
2. Set the VLAN Management ID to a value of between 1 and 4094. (A value of -1 disables VLAN Tagging).
3. Place a check mark in the Enable VLAN Tagging box.
Provide Access to a Wireless Host in the Same Workgroup
The 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.
CAUTION: 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.
NOTE: When VLAN is enabled, ensure that all devices in the network share the same VLAN ID.
1. Click Configure > SSID/VLAN/Security > Mgmt VLAN.
2. Set the VLAN Management ID to use the same VLAN ID as one of the configured SSIDs.
3. Place a check mark in the Enable VLAN Tagging box.
