Section 5 - Advanced Network Configuration
A virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a logical segment in a switched network. It allows independent logical
networks to be created within a single physical network. V LANs separate devices into different broadcast domains
and Layer 3 subnets. Devices within a VLAN can communicate without routing. The primary use of VLANs is to
split large switched networks, which are large broadcast domains.
The wireless controller provides VLAN functionality for assigning unique VLAN IDs to LAN ports so that traffic
to and from that physical port can be isolated from the general LAN. VLAN filtering is particularly useful to limit
broadcast packets of a device in a large network.
Path: Network > VLAN > VLAN Settings
You can create VLANs on the VLAN Settings page. After you create VLANs, you can use the same page to view,
edit, and delete VLANs.
To create a VLAN:
1. Go to Network > VLAN > VLAN Settings.
2. Click Add New VLAN. The following pop-up box will appear.
