Use the VLAN Configuration page to view and configure the VLAN settings.
Configuring VLAN Settings for WAP150
1. Select LAN > VLAN Configuration.
2. Configure these parameters:
• Untagged VLAN—Enables or disables VLAN tagging. When enabled (the default), all traffic is tagged with a VLAN ID.
By default, all traffic on the WAP device uses VLAN 1, the default untagged VLAN. This means that all traffic is untagged until you disable the untagged VLAN, change the untagged traffic VLAN ID, or change the VLAN ID for a VAP or client using RADIUS.
• Untagged VLAN ID—Specifies a number between 1 and 4094 for the untagged VLAN ID. The default is 1. Traffic on the VLAN that you specify in this field is not be tagged with a VLAN ID when forwarded to the network.
VLAN 1 is both the default untagged VLAN and the default management VLAN. If you want to segregate management traffic from the untagged VLAN traffic, configure the new VLAN ID at your router, and then use this new VLAN ID on your WAP device.
• Management VLAN ID—The VLAN associated with the IP address that you use to access the WAP device. Provide a number between 1 and 4094 for the management VLAN ID. The default is 1.
This VLAN is also the default untagged VLAN. If you already have a management VLAN configured on your network with a different VLAN ID, you must change the VLAN ID of the management VLAN on the WAP device.
3. Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.
Configuring VLAN Settings for Cisco WAP361
To configure the settings for a VLAN:
1. Select LAN > VLAN Configuration.
2. In the VLAN Setting Table, each VLAN record includes the following fields:
• VLAN ID—Identifier of the VLAN. Each VLAN ID is ranged from 1 to 4094 and should be different with others VLAN ID.
• Description—Description of the related VLAN. The length should be fewer than 64 characters that are composed of A-Z, a-z, 0-9, _.
• Management VLAN—Management VLAN is the VLAN used to access the WAP device through Telnet or the web GUI. There must be one and only one VLAN as the management VLAN. If no interface (wire or wireless) belongs to the management VLAN, there will be no interface that a user can use to access the configuration utility.
• LAN0 - LAN4—Each port should have at most one untagged VLAN. The options are:
– Untagged—The port is a member of the VLAN. A packet of the VLAN sent out from the port will be untagged. A untagged packet received by the port will be classified to the VLAN (tagged).
– Tagged—The port is a member of the VLAN. A packet of the VLAN sent out from the port will be tagged with the VLAN header.
– Excluded—The port does not belong to the VLAN.
Note The VLAN ID 1 cannot be deleted. If a port (wired or wireless) related to the VLAN has been deleted, the WAP device will set its VLAN ID to 1 automatically.
Note After new settings are saved, the corresponding processes may be stopped and restarted. When this condition happens, the WAP device may lose connectivity. We recommend that you change the WAP device settings when a loss of connectivity will least affect your wireless clients.
