Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs)
Configuring a WLAN
VLAN
The Wireless Edge Services xl Module tags all traffic received from RPs for a
VLAN so that it can forward this traffic to other devices on your private
network. By default, the module places all wireless traffic in VLAN 1. If your
network only uses one subnet, then this configuration is adequate. Many
networks, however, include multiple subnets, of which VLAN 1 is often the
management VLAN. Because of security, as well as other, concerns, you may
not want traffic from wireless users placed in this VLAN.
To configure the VLAN for a WLAN, enter a value in the VLAN ID field of the
Configuration section of the WLAN’s Edit screen.
