AT-TQ2450 Wireless Access Point User’s Guide

Here are the guidelines for VIDs:

The range is 1 to 4094.

The default is VID 1.

You may assign the same VID to more than one VAP.

A VAP can have only one VID.

The number is ignored for wireless clients who are assigned VIDs from a RADIUS server because VIDs from a RADIUS server take precedence over the number in this field. Consequently, if you configure the security on a VAP to 802.1X or WPA Enterprise, both of which require a RADIUS server, the value in this field is ignored for clients who have VIDs in their RADIUS accounts.

If you use 802.1x security for a VAP and activate Require VLAN ID in Dynamic VLAN, the VID for the dynamic VLAN must come from the client accounts on the RADIUS server.

5.Select the SSID field and enter a name for the VAP. Here are the guidelines:

A VAP must have a name.

A name can be from 1 to 32 characters.

Spaces are allowed.

You may assign the same name to more than one VAP.

6.Click the Broadcast SSID dialog box to either enable or disable the broadcast of the SSID of the VAP by the radio on the access point. When the dialog box has a check mark, the default setting, the access point transmits the SSID to advertise the VAP to the clients. When the dialog box is empty, the access point does not advertise the VAP. Clients who want to connect to a VAP that is not advertised have to know its name.

7.From the Security pull-down menu, select the security method for the VAP and configure the security settings. The security options are described in the following sections:

“No Security” on page 57

“IEEE 802.1x Security” on page 57

“Static WEP” on page 59

“WPA Enterprise” on page 62

“WPA Personal” on page 65

The default security level for VAPs is None, which does not provide authentication or packet encryption for VAPs.
