ProSAFE Dual-Band Wireless AC Access Point WAC720 WAC730
The 802.1Q VLAN protocol on the wireless access point logically separates traffic on the
same physical network:
• Untagged VLAN. When the wireless access point sends frames that are associated with
the untagged VLAN from its Ethernet interface, those frames are untagged. When the
wireless access point receives untagged frames over its Ethernet interface, those frames
are assigned to the untagged VLAN.
Note: Select the Untagged VLAN check box only if the hubs and switches
on your LAN support the 802.1Q VLAN protocol. Likewise, change the
untagged VLAN value only if the hubs and switches on your LAN
support the 802.1Q VLAN protocol.
• T
agged VLAN. When you clear the Untagged VLAN check box, the wireless access
point tags all frames that are sent from its Ethernet interface. Only incoming frames that
are tagged with known VLAN IDs are accepted.
• Management VLAN.
The management VLAN can be active only when the wireless
access point functions as a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint bridge (see Configure
Wireless Bridging on page 89). The management VLAN is used for managing traffic
(Telnet, SNMP, and HTTP) to and from the wireless access point.
Frames belonging to the management VLAN are not given any 802.1Q header when they
are sent over the trunk. If a port is in a single VLAN, it can be untagged. However
, if the
port is a member of multiple VLANs, it needs to be tagged.
