When the Wireless or Ethernet port (AP or Remote) is configured as an
Access Port, the radio tags incoming traffic with a VLAN ID, and strips
the tag before sending out traffic. This traffic is known as the Data
VLAN. Additionally, a second VLAN is assigned for other traffic that
is terminated at the radio, such as Web, Telnet, DLINK over TCP, TFTP
reprogramming, etc. This traffic is known as the Management VLAN.
Traffic directed to the terminal server or IP payload service should be
sent via the Data VLAN.
When the Ethernet port of a Remote is configured as a VLAN trunk, the
radio expects all incoming Ethernet frames to be tagged, and passes
through all outgoing frames as received from the wireless link with the
unchanged VLAN tag.

the last parameter changed when configuring the VLAN fea-

is changed. Also, configure the appropriate IP and IP2 settings
before changing this parameter.
