Native VLAN ID – The VLAN ID assigned to wireless clients that
are not assigned to a specific VLAN by RADIUS server
configuration.

VLAN – Enables or disables VLAN tagging support on the
SMC2555W-AG. If enabled, the access point will tag traffic
passing from wireless clients to the wired network with the VLAN
ID associated with each client on the RADIUS server. Up to 64
VLAN IDs can be mapped to specific wireless clients, allowing
users to remain within the same VLAN as they move around a
campus site. This feature can also be used to control access to
network resources from wireless clients, thereby improving
security.

A VLAN ID (1-4095) is assigned to a client after successful
authentication using IEEE 802.1x and a central RADIUS server.
The user VLAN IDs must be configured on the RADIUS server for
each user authorized to access the network. If a user does not
have a configured VLAN ID, the access point assigns the user to
its own configured native VLAN ID.

When setting up VLAN IDs for each user on the RADIUS server,
be sure to use the RADIUS attributes and values as indicated in
the following table.

Note: The specific configuration of RADIUS server software is beyond

the scope of this guide. Refer to the documentation provided with
the RADIUS server software.
