8. Enter a Management VLAN Tag for LAN1 and LAN2.
The Management VLAN uses a default tag value of 1. The Management VLAN is used to
distinguish VLAN traffic flows for the LAN. The trunk port marks the frames with special
tags as they pass between the AP-5131 and its destination, these tags help distinguish data
traffic.
Authentication servers (such as Radius and Kerberos) must be on the same Management
VLAN. Additionally, DHCP and BOOTP servers must be on the same Management VLAN as
well.
9. Define a Native VLAN Tag for LAN1 and LAN2.
A trunk port configured with 802.1Q tagging can receive both tagged and untagged traffic.
By default, the AP-5131 forwards untagged traffic with the native VLAN configured for the
port. The Native VLAN is VLAN 1 by default. Symbol suggests leaving the Native VLAN set
to 1 as other layer 2 devices also have their Native VLAN set to 1.
10. Use the LAN drop-down menu to map one of the two AP-5131s LANs to the WLAN listed to
the left. With this assignment, the WLAN uses this assigned LAN interface.
11. Select the Dynamic checkboxes (under the Mode column) to configure the VLAN mapping
as a dynamic VLAN.
Using Dynamic VLAN assignments, a VMPS (VLAN Management Policy Server) dynamically
assigns VLAN ports. The AP-5131 uses a separate server as a VMPS server. When a frame
