20.3.4 Second Rx VLAN ID Example

In this example, the NWA 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 158 Second Rx VLAN ID Example

S

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 NWA. The NWA 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 NWA forwards only packets tagged with VLAN ID 2 to it.
