5.4.1.3 Virtual Access Point (VAP)
VAP is a logical entity that exists within the physical WLAN AP device. VAP enables single AP device to be divided into multiple
VAPs, where each AP device can be configured independently, but physical properties like Channel, Operating Mode and
Power will remain same for all the VAP's.
The device assigns clients to a VLAN, based on a ‘Network Name (SSID)’. The AP device supports up to eight SSIDs per radio.
This benefits the user to filter and group the data at a maximum rate.
: Multiple SSIDs can have same VLAN ID.
