VLAN 20

Netgear AP

WFS709TP

A user is assigned to a VLAN by one of several methods, and there is an order of precedence to these methods.The methods for assignment of VLANs are (from lowest to highest precedence):

1.The VLAN is configured for the AP location.

2.The VLAN is derived from rules based on user attributes SSID, BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier), user MAC, location, and encryption type. Within the set of possible user-derivation rules, a rule that derives a specific VLAN takes precedence over a rule that derives a user role that may have a VLAN configured for it.

3.The VLAN is configured for a default role for an authentication method, such as 802.1x or VPN.
