Figure 7 Wireless Stations Segmented into Different VLANs Based on SSIDs
To enable the switch to forward packets from the wireless stations to the
correct VLAN, the Access Point inserts VLAN membership information
into the packets sent by the wireless stations before forwarding them to
the switch. The switch reads the VLAN tag in each packet, and then
forwards it to the correct VLAN destination.
Since VLAN membership of the wireless stations are configured through
the SSIDs and up to four SSIDs can be enabled at any time, you can
configure the Access Point to forward packets to up to four different
VLANs.
