APR175P USER'S GUIDE
Local Network (LAN): VLAN
Virtual Local Area Networks, also known as VLANs, is a
feature that allows you to virtually map connected devices
and secure access for each wired port.
VLAN ID: Devices that are connected to a wired port with a
specific VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) ID cannot access
or see devices connected to SSIDs or wired ports with a
different VLAN ID. For example, if Wired Port #1 is
assigned to VLAN 1 and Wired Port #2 is assigned to VLAN
2, then devices connected to Wired Port #1 will not be able to see or access devices or files on Wired Port #2
(VLAN 2). VLAN IDs can range between 1 and 4094.
Tagged / Untagged – VLAN enabled ports are generally categorized as tagged or untagged. This is also referred
to as trunk or access. The purpose of tagging a port is to pass traffic for multiple VLANs, whereas an untagged
port accepts traffic for only a single VLAN. For example, if you are connecting a switch to one of the Wired
Ports on the Access Point, this would generally be a tagged port since it will be connecting to a network with
multiple VLANs. To successfully configure a tagged port both ends must have the following in common:
encapsulation and VLAN settings. Both sides should be configured identically for the VLAN to work properly.
