5.3Setting up Wireless Per Group Pseudo LAN using AP Bridge Mode
With more wireless networks being deployed in public premises, privacy protection against unknown users has been an increasingly grave concern. The Wireless Pseudo VLAN segregates each wireless client or group of wireless clients into its own Pseudo VLAN. This restricts communication between wireless clients of different Pseudo VLAN while retaining wireless accessibility to the network resources.
The subnet view illustrates Pseudo Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3 not only can surf the Net freely, but they also can access the server easily. The PCs within its own group will be able to communicate with one another. However, communications between Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3 are not permissible.
