When VLAN filtering is enabled, the access point must also have 802.1x
authentication enabled (see page 5-66) and a RADIUS server configured (see
page 5-28). Wireless clients must also support 802.1x client software to be
assigned to a specific VLAN.
With VLANs enabled, the access point's Ethernet interface drops all received
traffic that does not include a VLAN tag. To maintain network connectivity to
the access point and wireless clients, be sure that the access point is
connected to a device port that supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tags.
When VLAN filtering is disabled, the access point ignores the VLAN tags on
any received frames.

Web: Enabling VLAN Support and Setting Filters

The Filter Control window on the Configuration tab to configure frame filtering
on the access point's wireless and Ethernet interfaces.
The web interface enables you to modify these parameters:
Native VLAN ID: The VLAN ID assigned to wireless client users that are
not assigned to a specific VLAN by RADIUS server configuration. The
Native VLAN ID is limited to a number between 1 and 64.
VLAN: Enables or disables VLAN tagging support on the access point.
Local Bridge Filter: Controls wireless-to-wireless communications
between clients through the access point. However, it does not affect
communications between wireless clients and the wired network.
Disable: Allows wireless-to-wireless communications between
clients through the access point.
Enable: Blocks wireless-to-wireless communications between
clients through the access point.
AP Management Filter: Controls management access to the access
point from wireless clients. Management interfaces include the web,
Telnet, or SNMP.
Disable: Allows management access from wireless clients.
Enable: Blocks management access from wireless clients.
Ethernet Type Filter: Controls checks on the Ethernet type of all
incoming and outgoing Ethernet packets against the protocol filtering
table.
Disable: Access point does not filter Ethernet protocol types.
Enable: Access point filters Ethernet protocol types based on the
configuration of protocol types in the filter table. If a protocol has its
status set to "ON," the protocol is not passed by the access point.
