Advanced Configuration

Filter Control

The access point can employ VLAN ID and network traffic frame filtering to control access to network resources and increase security.

Native VLAN ID – The VLAN ID assigned to wireless clients that are not assigned to a specific VLAN by RADIUS server configuration.

VLAN – Enables or disables VLAN tagging support on the SMC2555W-AG. If enabled, the access point will tag traffic passing from wireless clients to the wired network with the VLAN ID associated with each client on the RADIUS server. Up to 64 VLAN IDs can be mapped to specific wireless clients, allowing users to remain within the same VLAN as they move around a campus site. This feature can also be used to control access to network resources from wireless clients, thereby improving security.
