16.2.5 Second Rx VLAN ID Example

In this example, the ZyXEL Device is configured to tag packets from SSID01 with VLAN ID 1 and tag packets from SSID02 with VLAN ID 2. VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 have access to a server, S, and the Internet, as shown in the following figure.

Figure 127 Second Rx VLAN ID Example

Packets sent from the server S back to the switch are tagged with a VLAN ID (incoming VLAN ID). These incoming VLAN packets are forwarded to the ZyXEL Device. The ZyXEL Device compares the VLAN ID in the packet header with each SSID’s configured VLAN ID and second Rx VLAN ID settings.

In this example, SSID01’s second Rx VLAN ID is set to 2. All incoming packets tagged with VLAN ID 2 are forwarded to SSID02, and also to SSID01. However, SSID02 has no second Rx VLAN ID configured, and the ZyXEL Device forwards only packets tagged with VLAN ID 2 to it.

16.2.5.1 Second Rx VLAN Setup Example

The following steps show you how to setup a second Rx VLAN ID on the ZyXEL Device.

1Log into the Web Configurator.

2Click VLAN > Wireless VLAN.

3If VLAN is not already enabled, click Enable Virtual LAN and set up the Management VLAN ID (see Section 16.2.3 on page 185).

"If no devices are in the management VLAN, then no one will be able to access the ZyXEL Device and you will have to restore the default configuration file.

4Select the SSID profile you want to configure (SSID03 in this example), and enter the VLAN ID number (between 1 and 4094).
