Virtual Wireless Network Setting

VLAN Setting

Note

  • Set Virtual Wireless Networks to 'Activated' in the Ethernet setting page to set additional network in VLAN. See "Virtual Wireless Network Setting" of Ethernet setting menu.
  • To configure additional networks on VLANs, you must first enable Virtual Wireless Networks on the Ethernet Settings page. See "Enabling or Disabling Virtual Wireless Networks on the AP".
  • If VLAN option is set, the connection to AP may fail. First, check if the switch and DHCP server supports VLAN with IEEE 802.1Q. After setting VLAN option, connect the Ethernet cable of the switch VLAN port (WAN port). Re-access the administrator Web page as a new IP address. (If necessary, contact the administrator for the setting of VLAN and DHCP.)

Item
Description
Virtual Wireless Network
You can configure up to 14 VWNs.
Activate
You can enable or disable a configured network.
    To enable the specified network, check the Enabled checkbox beside the appropriate VWN.
To disable the specified network, uncheck the Enabled checkbox beside the appropriate VWN.
If you disable the specified network, you will lose the VLAN ID you entered.
VLAN ID
Provide a number between 1 and 4094 for the Internal VLAN.
This will cause the access point to send DHCP requests with the VLAN tag. The switch and the DHCP server must support VLAN IEEE 802.1Q frames. The access point must be able to reach the DHCP server.
Check with the Administrator regarding the VLAN and DHCP configurations.
SSID
Enter a name for the wireless network as a character string. This name will apply to all access points on this network. As you add more access points, they will share this SSID.
The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is an alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters.
Note : If you are connected as a wireless client to the same AP that you are administering, resetting the SSID will cause you to lose connectivity to the AP. You will need to reconnect to the new SSID after you save this new setting.
Broadcast SSID
Select the Broadcast SSID setting by selecting the Broadcast SSID checkbox.
By default, the access point broadcasts (allows) the Service Set Identifier (SSID) in its beacon frames.
You can suppress (prohibit) this broadcast to discourage stations from automatically discovering your access point. When the AP's broadcast SSID is suppressed, the network name will not be displayed in the List of Available Networks on a client station. Instead, the client must have the exact network name configured in the supplicant before it will be able to connect.
Note : The Broadcast SSID you set here is specifically for this Virtual Network (One or Two). Other networks continue to use the security modes already configured:
  • Your original Internal network (configured on Ethernet [Wired] tab) uses the Broadcast SSID set on Security.
  • If a Guest network is configured, the Broadcast SSID is always allowed.
Security Mode
Select the Security Mode for this VLAN. Select one of the following:
Note : The Security mode you set here is specifically for this Virtual Network. Other networks continue to use the security modes already configured:
  • Your original Internal network (configured on Ethernet Settings page) uses the Security mode set on Security.
  • If a Guest network is configured, always set the security mode to "None".
