Specifying a Virtual Guest Network

If you enable Guest Access, you must represent both an Internal and a Guest Network on this access point virtually, by connecting the LAN port on the access point to a tagged port on a VLAN-capable switch and then defining two different virtual LANs on the Ethernet (Wired) Settings page. (For more information, see “Guest Login” on page 121.)

Choose virtually separate internal and guest LANs as described below.

	• Choose VLAN on Ethernet Port. This will enable the VLAN settings where you
	must provide a VLAN ID. See also “Configuring Guest Interface Ethernet
	(Wired) Settings” on page 95.
	Caution: If you reconfigure the Guest and Internal interfaces to use VLANs,
	you may lose connectivity to the access point. First, be sure to verify that the
	switch and DHCP server you are using can support VLANs per the IEEE
	802.1Q standard. After configuring the VLAN on the Advanced menu’s
	Ethernet (Wired) Settings page, physically reconnect the Ethernet cable on the
	switch to the tagged packet (VLAN) port. Then, reconnect via the Web User
	Interface to the new IP address. (If necessary, check with the infrastructure
	support administrator regarding the VLAN and DHCP configurations.)

Enabling and Disabling Virtual Wireless Networks on the Access Point

If you want to configure the Internal network as a VLAN (whether or not you have a Guest network configured), you can enable Virtual Wireless Networks on the access point.

You must enable this feature if you want to configure additional virtual networks on VLANs on the Advanced menu’s Virtual Wireless Networks page as described in “Virtual Wireless Networks” on
