Each VAP is associated with a VLAN, which is identified by a VLAN ID (VID). A VID
can be any value from 1 to 4094, inclusive. The WAP571/E device supports 33

which is also the default untagged VID. If the management VID is the same as the
VID assigned to a VAP, then the WLAN clients associated with this specific VAP
can administer the WAP device. If needed, an access control list (ACL) can be
created to disable administration from WLAN clients.

problems can result if the VAP associates wireless clients with an improperly
configured VLAN.
