VLAN Settings

Wireless clients associated to the access point can be assigned to a VLAN.
Wireless clients are assigned to the VLAN for the VAP interface with which they
are associated. The access point only allows traffic tagged with correct VLAN
IDs to be forwarded to associated clients on each VAP interface.
When VLAN support is enabled on the access point, traffic passed to the wired
network is tagged with the appropriate VLAN ID. When an Ethernet port on the
access point is configured as a VLAN member, traffic received from the wired
network must also be tagged with the same VLAN ID. Received traffic that has
an unknown VLAN ID or no VLAN tag is dropped.
When VLAN support is disabled, the access point does not tag traffic passed to
the wired network and ignores the VLAN tags on any received frames.
Network IP range conflict detection and resolution — The AP has two built-in
local networks - one “main” network, and the more secure “guest” network. By
default, the subnet ranges of these networks is set to 192.168.2.1 and
192.168.3.1, respectively.
If your network is already configured to use one of these subnets, when you
plug in your network cable to the WAN port of your AP, there would normally be
an IP conflict in the local AP’s network and your upstream network.
However, if your WAN subnet conflicts with any of the local networks (even the
custom ones you create), the AP will automatically change the subnet of the
local network.
Note:
Before enabling VLAN tagging on the access point, be sure to configure the
attached network switch port to support tagged VLAN frames for the VLAN IDs
configured on the access point. Otherwise, connectivity to the access point will be
lost when you enable the VLAN feature.
