4.4.1Access Control – The Wireless Pseudo VLAN

A VLAN is a group of PCs or other network resources that behave as if they were connected to a single network segment.

Those stations which are assigned to the same VLAN share network resources and bandwidth as if they were connected to the same segment. Conversely, only the stations within the same VLAN can access each other.

A Wireless Pseudo VLAN acts by segregating a single wireless LAN into multiple virtual LANs so that communication is possible only among wireless clients within the same VLAN.

When operating in the Gateway mode, the access point lets you create VLANs containing either a single user, and referred to as Wireless Pseudo VLAN Per Node, or a group of users, termed Wireless Pseudo VLAN Per Group.

When operating in the Access Point mode, the access point allows you to define Tag VLANs in addition to the Wireless Pseudo VLAN Per Node and the Wireless Pseudo VLAN Per Group.
