Chapter 5: Virtual Access Points

VAP Introduction
Virtual access points (VAPs) are independent broadcast domains that
function as the wireless equivalent of Ethernet VLANs. They are seen by
clients as independent access points, with their own VIDs, SSIDs, and
security methods. Here are VAP guidelines:
 Each radio can have up to eight VAPs. Allied Telesis recommends
no more than five VAPs per radio for best performance.
 The VAPs are numbered from 0 to 7.
 You can enable or disable the VAPs individually, except for VAP0,
which can only be disabled by disabling its radio.
 The VAP securities are static WEP, Enterprise WPA, and Personal
WPA.
 The VAPs of a radio can have different security methods.
 VAPs can have the same or different VLAN IDs.
VAP parameters are divided into these three groups:
 “Configuring Basic VAP Parameters” on page 73
 “Configuring VAP Security” on page 76
 “Configuring VAP Fast Roaming” on page 85
