Configuring VLANs
Note:
∙To configure additional networks on VLANs, you must first enable Virtual Wireless Networks on the Ethernet Settings page. See “Enabling or Disabling Virtual Wireless Networks on the AP”.
∙If you configure VLANs, you may lose connectivity to the access point. First, be sure to verify that the switch and DHCP server you are using can support VLANs per the IEEE 802.1Q standard. After configuring VLANs, physically reconnect the Ethernet cable on the switch to the tagged packet (VLAN) port. Then,
Field | Description |
Virtual Wireless Network | You can configure up to 14 VWNs. |
|
|
Enabled | You can enable or disable a configured network. |
| ∙ To enable the specified network, check the Enabled checkbox |
| beside the appropriate VWN. |
| ∙ To disable the specified network, uncheck the Enabled checkbox |
| beside the appropriate VWN. |
| If you disable the specified network, you will lose the VLAN ID you |
| entered. |
|
|
VLAN ID | Provide a number between 1 and 4094 for the Internal VLAN. |
| This will cause the access point to send DHCP requests with the VLAN |
| tag. The switch and the DHCP server must support VLAN IEEE 802.1Q |
| frames. The access point must be able to reach the DHCP server. |
| Check with the Administrator regarding the VLAN and DHCP |
| configurations. |
|
|
SSID | Enter a name for the wireless network as a character string. This name |
| will apply to all access points on this network. As you add more access |
| points, they will share this SSID. |
| The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is an alphanumeric string of up to 32 |
| characters. |
| Note: If you are connected as a wireless client to the same AP that you |
| are administering, resetting the SSID will cause you to lose connectivity |
| to the AP. You will need to reconnect to the new SSID after you save this |
| new setting. |
