    A WLAN is the combined entity of VAPs and VLANs. Each VLAN has a unique IP address, which you must configure. It is possible to create several networks that work in parallel on the same WBSn-2400. This can be done by creating several VAPs mapped to several VLAN. Each VAP will represent a different broadcast domain on the wireless interface, isolated from other VAPs by using different broadcast keys, with the broadcast domains on the Ethernet interface separated by the VLAN.
  • Page 25 You can also configure one VLAN as the Management VLAN in the WBSn-2400 system. The purpose of this is to segment the Management and the Clients data traffic. It also provides an option for customers to keep an Open SSID for public traffic and simultaneously manage the WBSn-2400 traffic over a separate VLAN (that can be linked to a secured SSID).
  • Page 26 VLAN can be defined per interface (e.g. Ethernet, VAP). When a VLAN is configured to be tagged on a VAP, a CPE that supports VLAN tagging on the wireless interface must be used. WBSn-2400 User Guide Page - 26 -...
