All requests tagged with the MPV are sent over the split tunnel. Hence the MPV should be different from any
user VLAN that is bridged using the mesh network.

Creating a Remote Mesh Portal via the WebUI
A remote mesh portal must be provisioned as both a remote access point and a mesh portal. For instructions on
provisioning the remote mesh portal as a remote access point, see “Configuring the Secure Remote Access Point
Service” on page154.
Wired ports on remote mesh portals can be configured in either bridge or split-tunnel forwarding mode. There
are, however, limitations to the forwarding modes that can be used by other mesh node types. Do not use bridge
or split-tunnel forwarding mode for wired ports on mesh points. Virtual APs on remote mesh portals and remote
mesh points also do not support bridge or split-tunnel forwarding mode.
