Specifying a Virtual Guest Network
If you enable Guest Access, you must represent both an Internal and a Guest Network on this access point
virtually, by connecting the LAN port on the access point to a tagged port on a
VLAN -capable switch and
then defining two different virtual LANs on the Ethernet (Wired) Settings page. (For more information, see
“Guest Login” on page 121.)
Choose virtually separate internal and guest LANs as described below.
Enabling and Disabling Virtual Wireless Networks on the Access Point

Caution: If you reconfigure the Guest and Internal interfaces to use VLAN s,
you may lose connectivity to the access point. First, be sure to verify that the
switch and
DHCP server you are using can support VLANs per the IEEE
802.1Q standard. After configuring the VLAN on the Advanced menu’s
Ethernet (Wired) Settings page, physically reconnect the Ethernet cable on the
switch to the tagged packet (VLAN) port. Then, reconnect via the Web User
Interface to the new IP address. (If necessary, check with the infrastructure
support administrator regarding the VLAN and DHCP configurations.)
