Set the 802.1Q VLAN and management
VLAN
The 802.1Q VLAN protocol on the access point logically separates traffic on the same
physical (wired) network. This protocol can work with tagged and untagged VLANs, as
follows:
• Untagged VLAN. The access point sends untagged frames from its Ethernet interface.
Incoming untagged frames are assigned to the untagged VLAN. By default, the
untagged VLAN is VLAN 1. By default, the access point functions with an untagged
VLAN.
• Tagged VLAN. The access point tags all frames that it sends from its Ethernet
interface. Only the incoming frames that are tagged with known VLAN IDs are
accepted.
The management VLAN is used for managing traffic such as Telnet, SNMP, and HTTP
traffic to and from the access point. Frames that belong to the management VLAN and
that are sent over the trunk do not receive an 802.1Q header. If a port is a member of
a single VLAN, its traffic can be untagged.
The following sections describe how you can set up the 802.1Q VLAN and management
VLAN:

• AP mode: Set the 802.1Q VLAN and management VLAN

• Router mode: Set the 802.1Q VLAN and management VLAN
AP mode: Set the 802.1Q VLAN and management VLAN
To set the 802.1Q VLAN and management VLAN when the access point functions
in AP mode:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window opens.
If your browser does not open the login window but displays a security message
and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on
page 41.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
