4.5.4 802.1Q VLAN
The 802.1Q VLAN feature allows for a single VLAN to support multiple VLANs. With the
802.1Q feature you can preserve VLAN IDs and segregate different VLAN traffic.
The 802.1Q VLAN tag feature encapsulates the 802.1Q VLAN tagging within another
802.1Q VLAN tag. The outer tag is assigned following the AP group, while the inner VLAN
ID is assigned dynamically by the AAA server.
