Typical VLAN Management Configurations

Control Access to the AP

Management access to the AP can easily be secured by making management stations or hosts and the AP itself members of a common VLAN. Simply configure a non-zero management VLAN ID and enable VLAN to restrict management of the AP to members of the same VLAN.

! CAUTION:

If a non-zero management VLAN ID is configured then management access to the AP is restricted to wired or wireless hosts that are members of the same VLAN. Ensure your management platform or host is a mem- ber of the same VLAN before attempting to manage the AP.

1.Click Configure > SSID/VLAN/Security.

2.Set the VLAN Management ID to a value between 0 and 4094 (a value of 0 disables VLAN management).

3.Place a check mark in the Enable VLAN Protocol box.

Provide Access to a Wireless Host in the Same Workgroup

The VLAN feature can allow wireless clients to manage the AP. If the VLAN Management ID matches a VLAN User ID, then those wireless clients who are members of that VLAN will have AP management access.
