Assigning multiple VLANs per WLAN

The switch allows the mapping of a WLAN to more than one VLAN. When a MU associates with a
WLAN, it is assigned a VLAN in such a way that users are load balanced across VLANs. The VLAN is
assigned from the pool representative of the WLAN. The switch tracks the number of MUs per
VLAN, and assigns the least used/loaded VLAN to the MU. This number is tracked on a per-WLAN
basis.

To assign multiple VLANs to a WLAN:

1. Select Network > Wireless LANs from the main menu tree.

2. Select an existing WLAN from those displayed within the Configuration tab and click the Edit

button.

A WLAN screen displays with the WLAN’s existing configuration.

3. Select the VLAN radio button from the Configuration screen to change the VLAN designation

for this WLAN.

By default, all WLANs are initially assigned to VLAN 1.

4. Select the Dynamic Assignment checkbox for an user based VLAN assignment with RADIUS for

this WLAN.

5. Select the Assign Multiple VLAN(s) button to map a WLAN to more than one VLAN. This

displays the Multiple VLAN Mapping screen.

6. Configure the Multiple VLAN Mapping for WLAN table as required to add or remove multiple

VLANS for the selected WLAN.

Multiple VLAN’s per WLAN are mapped (by default) to a regular VLAN and are not supported on
an adaptive AP. Refer to

“Editing the WLAN configuration”

on page 100 to select and define an

independent VLAN for adaptive AP support.

7. Select the Insert button to add the VLAN using the criteria described above.

VLAN

user limit is 4096 per VLAN.
