Virtual Access Points (VAPs)
– 89 –
◆ Mode — Selects the mode in which the VAP will function.
â–
AP Mode: The VAP provides services to clients as a normal access
point.
â–
WDS-AP Mode: The VAP operates as an access point in WDS
mode, which accepts connections from client stations in WDS-STA
mode.
â–
WDS-STA Mode: The VAP operates as a client station in WDS
mode, which connects to an access point VAP in WDS-AP mode. The
user needs to specify the MAC address of the access point in WDS-
AP mode to which it intends to connect.
◆ Association Timeout Interval — The idle time interval (when no
frames are sent) after which a client is disassociated from the VAP
interface. (Range: 5-60 minutes; Default: 30 minutes)
◆ Authentication Timeout Interval — The time within which the client
should finish authentication before authentication times out.
(Range: 5-60 minutes; Default: 60 minutes)
◆ Default VLAN ID — The VLAN ID assigned to wireless clients
associated to the VAP interface that are not assigned to a specific VLAN
by RADIUS server configuration. (Default: 1)
◆ DHCP Relay Server — The IP address of the DHCP relay server.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) can dynamically allocate
an IP address and other configuration information to network clients
that broadcast a request. To receive the broadcast request, the DHCP
server would normally have to be on the same subnet as the client.
However, when the access point’s DHCP relay agent is enabled,
received client requests can be forwarded directly by the access point
to a known DHCP server on another subnet. Responses from the DHCP
server are returned to the access point, which then broadcasts them
back to clients. (Default: 0.0.0.0 (disabled))
◆ SSID — The service set identifier for the VAP.
WDS-STA MODE Describes additional basic VAP settings when functioning in WDS-STA
mode.
