1. Login to the Web interface.
2. Click Configure > Interfaces > Wireless A.
3. Set the SSID for card A.
4. Click the Wireless B tab.
5. Set the SSID for card B (this should be different from the SSID for card A).
6. Click Network > VLAN.
7. Set a unique VLAN ID for each wireless card (enter a value between 1 and 4094)
8. Place a check mark in the Enable VLAN Protocol box.
9. Click OK.
10. Configure the wireless client with one of the two Network Names based on VLAN membership.
Setting Up Independent VLAN Workgroups
The VLAN-capable AP-2500 supports configuration of both “tagged” and “untagged” user VLANs.
A “tagged” user VLAN is created when a VLAN ID between 1 and 4094 (per the 802.1Q standard) is configured for one
of the wireless cards and VLAN is enabled. The AP-2500 applies a VLAN header to tag traffic from wireless clients
(members of a “tagged” VLAN) and transmits the traffic as appropriate, on either the wired or wireless backbone.
An “untagged” User VLAN is created when a VLAN ID of 0 is configured for one of the wireless cards and VLAN is
enabled. Traffic received from wireless clients (members of an “untagged” VLAN) is transmitted as appropriate, on
either the wired or wireless backbone. “Untagged” User VLANs enable VLANs to coexist on networks with non-VLAN
capable devices such as legacy servers.
To configure this scenario, set up only one workgroup by configuring one VLAN and untagged traffic:
•
VLAN ID for Wireless card in Slot A = 0 or a number between 1 and 4094
• VLAN ID for Wireless card in Slot B = 0 or a number between 1 and 4094
NOTE
Either the wireless card in Slot A or the wireless card in Slot B must be set to 0 to support this configuration.
