4.

Assign a unique

VLAN ID

(from 1 to 4095) to each VLAN added or modified.

The VLAN ID associates a frame with a specific VLAN and provides the information the
access point needs to process the frame across the network. Therefore, it may be practical
to assign a name to a VLAN representative or the area or type of network traffic it
represents.

A business may have offices in different locations and want to extend an internal LAN
between the locations. An access point managed infrastructure could provide this
connectivity, but it requires VLAN numbering be managed carefully to avoid conflicts
between two VLANs with the same ID.

5.

Define a 32 ASCII character maximum

VLAN Name

.

Enter a unique name that identifies members of the VLAN. Motorola recommends selecting
the name carefully, as the VLAN name should signify a group of clients with a common set
of requirements independent of their physical location.

6.
