Table 6: Access Ports with VLANs configured
Outgoing Traffic (to Client)Incoming Traffic (from Client)VLAN Settings
All outgoing traffic on the port
is sent untagged.
All incoming traffic is native VLAN
(VLAN 1).
Access Port, Untag VLAN
1
Only traffic belonging to the
specified VLAN is forwarded. All
other VLAN traffic is dropped.
All incoming traffic is sent to the
VLANs specified.

Trunk Ports
Trunk links are required to pass VLAN information between switches. Trunking is a function that
must be enabled on both sides of a link.
If two switches are connected together, for example, both switch ports must be configured as
trunk ports.
The trunk port is a member of all the VLANs that exist on the AP/switch and carries traffic for all
VLANs between switches.
For a trunk port, the VLAN Untag ID field is used to define the native VLAN - the VLAN into which
untagged ingress packets are placed upon arrival. If your network uses a different VLAN as the
native VLAN, configure the AP trunk port’s VLAN Untag ID with the native VLAN used throughout
your network.
General Ports
General ports are user-specified ports that can have any combination of up to 20 VLAN IDs
assigned.
General ports function similarly to Trunk ports, except that where Trunk ports pass all VLAN
traffic, General ports pass only the VLAN traffic that is defined by the user.
To configure an AP Ethernet port as a General port, select General Port and enter multiple valid
VLAN IDs separated by commas or a range separated by a hyphen.
NOTE: You must also include the Untag VLAN ID in the Members field when defining the VLANs
that a General port will pass. For example, if you enter 1 as the Untag VLAN ID and want the
port to pass traffic on VLANs 200 and 300, you would enter: 1,200,300.
Configuring Client Admission Control
As an administrator, you can help maintain a positive user experience for wireless users on the
network by configuring the following client admission control settings:
• Minimum client count
• Maximum radio load
• Minimum client throughput
Client admission control is implemented on a per radio basis and is currently only supported on
802.11n APs.
