ProSAFE Dual-Band Wireless AC Access Points WAC720 and WAC730
The 802.1Q VLAN protocol on the access point logically separates traffic on the same
physical network. The access point supports the following types of VLANs:
• Untagged VLAN. When the access point sends frames that are associated with the
untagged VLAN from its Ethernet interface, those frames are untagged. When the access
point receives untagged frames over its Ethernet interface, those frames are assigned to
the untagged VLAN.
Note: Select the Untagged VLAN check box only if the hubs and switches
on your LAN support the 802.1Q VLAN protocol. Likewise, change the
untagged VLAN value only if the hubs and switches on your LAN
support the 802.1Q VLAN protocol.
• Tagged VLAN. When you clear the Untagged VLAN check box, the access point tags all
frames that are sent from its Ethernet interface. Only incoming frames that are tagged
with known VLAN IDs are accepted.
• Management VLAN. The management VLAN can be active only when the access point
functions as a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint bridge (see Configure WiFi Bridging on
page 122). The management VLAN is used for managing traffic (Telnet, SNMP, and
HTTP) to and from the access point.
Frames belonging to the management VLAN are not given any 802.1Q header when they
are sent over the trunk. If a port is in a single VLAN, it can be untagged. However, if the
port is a member of multiple VLANs, it must be tagged.
 To configure STP and VLANs:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
access point or to the access point directly through an Ethernet cable.
For more information, see Log In to the Access Point on page 15.
2. In the address bar, enter the IP address of the access point.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
4. Select Configuring > System > Advanced > General.
