ProSafe 16 AP Wireless Management System WMS5316 Reference Manual

Untagged VLANs

When the Untagged VLAN check box is selected, one VLAN can be configured as an

untagged VLAN.

For each profile group up to 8 VLANS can be configured per radio, for example, a maximum

of 15 SSIDs per group for both the radios. The active VLANs depend on the active SSIDs and

access points that are deployed. If the access point is a ProSafe dual band, such as the

WNDAP350, then all 16 can be active. If it is a ProSafe single band, then only 8 SSIDs can

be active. If it is a SoHo access point, then only one SSID can be active.

The wireless management system itself can support 2 VLANs, one management VLAN and

one untagged VLAN.

When the wireless management system sends frames associated with the untagged VLAN

out the LAN (Ethernet) interface, those frames are untagged. When the wireless

management system receives untagged traffic from the LAN (Ethernet) interface, those

frames are assigned to the untagged VLAN.

If this check box is cleared, the wireless management system tags all outgoing LAN

(Ethernet) frames, and accepts only incoming frames that are tagged with known VLAN IDs.

Note: The untagged VLAN check box should be cleared only if the hubs

or switches on your LAN support the VLAN (802.1Q) standard.

Likewise, the untagged VLAN value should be changed only if the

hubs and switches on your LAN support the VLAN (802.1Q)

standard.

Changing either of these values will result in a loss of IP connectivity if the hubs and switches

on your network have not yet been configured with the corresponding VLANs.

The Untagged VLAN check box must be cleared when either access point model

WN802Tv2 or access point model WG602v4 is managed, as those access points do not

support 802.1Q VLAN tagging.

Management VLANs

Management VLANs are used for managing traffic (Telnet, SNMP, and HTTP) to and from the

wireless management system and managed access points.

Frames belonging to the management VLAN are not given any 802.1Q header when sent

over the trunk. If a port is in a single VLAN, it can be untagged. But if the port needs to be a

member of multiple VLANs, it must be tagged.
