Field

Virtual Wireless Networks

(Using VLANs on Ethernet Port)

Description

•Select Enabled to enable VLANs for the Internal network and for additional networks. If you choose this option, you can run the Internal network on a VLAN whether or not you have Guest Access configured and you can set up additional networks on VLANs using the Advanced menu’s Virtual Wireless Networks page as described in “Virtual Wireless Networks” on page 125.

•Select Disabled to disable the VLAN for the Internal network, and for any additional virtual networks on this access point.

Configuring Internal Interface Ethernet Settings

To configure Ethernet (Wired) settings for the Internal LAN, fill in the fields as described below.

Field

Description

MAC Address	Shows the MAC address for the Internal network interface for the LAN port on this
	access point. This is a read-only field.

VLAN ID	If you choose to configure Internal and Guest networks by VLANs, this field is ena-
	bled.
	Provide a number between 1 and 4094 for the Internal VLAN.
	This will cause the access point to send DHCP requests with the VLAN tag. The
	switch and the DHCP server must support VLAN IEEE 802.1Q frames. The access
	point must be able to reach the DHCP server.
