Chapter 6: Wireless Extended Features

This section illustrates how to configure the wireless extended features. To start with, follow the common preliminary steps described below.

ACCESS CONTROL – THE WIRELESS PSEUDO VLAN

(Only in Access Point mode)

A VLAN is a group of PCs or other network resources that behave as if they were connected to a single network segment although they may be physically located on different segments of a LAN.

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 VLANs so that communication is possible only among wireless clients within the same VLAN.

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