802.11ac Wireless Access Point Model WAC120

Set Up an 802.1Q VLAN

A Spanning Tree Protocol provides network traffic optimization in locations where multiple

access points are present. The 802.1Q VLAN protocol on the access point separates traffic

logically on the same physical network. The following choices are available:

• Unt

agged VLAN. You can allow one VLAN to be configured as an untagged VLAN.

When th

e access point sends frames associated with the untagged VLAN out from the

Ethernet LAN interface, these frames are untagged. When the access point receives

untagged traffic from the Ethernet LAN interface, these frames are assigned to the

untagged VLAN. Otherwise, the access point tags all outgoing Ethernet LAN frames and

accepts only incoming frames that are tagged with known VLAN IDs.

Note: You lose IP connectivity when the hubs and switches on your network

are not yet configured with the corresponding VLANs. Use untagged

VLANs only when the hubs and switches on your LAN support the

802.1Q VLAN standard. Change the default untagged VLAN value

only when the hubs and switches on your LAN support the 802.1Q

VLAN standard.

• Management VLAN. Use management VLANs to manage Telnet, SNMP, and HTTP

traffic to and from the access point. Frames belonging to the management VLAN are not

given any 802.1Q header when sent over the trunk. When a port is in a single VLAN, the

port can remain untagged. But when the port must be a member of multiple VLANs, the

port must be tagged.

 To set up an 802.1Q VLAN:

1. Launch a web browser on the computer that is connected to the access point.

2. Enter http://1

92.168.0.100 in the address field of the browser.

A login prompt displays.

3. Enter the user name and password.

The user name is

admin and t

he default password is password.

The General screen displays.
