Chapter 20 VLAN

20.3 What You Need To Know About VLAN

When you use wireless VLAN and RADIUS VLAN together, the NWA first tries to assign VLAN IDs based on RADIUS VLAN configuration. If a client’s user name does not match an entry in the RADIUS VLAN screen, the NWA assigns a VLAN ID based on the settings in the Wireless VLAN screen. See Section 20.5.3 on page 243 for more information.

Note: To use RADIUS VLAN, you must first select Enable VIRTUAL LAN and configure the Management VLAN ID in the VLAN > Wireless VLAN screen.

The Management VLAN ID identifies the “management VLAN”. A device must be a member of this “management VLAN” in order to access and manage the NWA. If a device is not a member of this VLAN, then that device cannot manage the NWA.

Note: If no devices are in the management VLAN, then you will be able to access the NWA only through the console port (not through the network).
