Configuring VLAN Settings
■ VLAN tagging: Each RJ45 port can be configured to use VLAN tagging. By
default, no RJ45 port is tagged. When the icon contains a white “tag,” that port
is tagged; otherwise it is un-tagged. Clicking on the icon switches between tagged
and un-tagged modes.
■ RJ45 port state images: The AP may be connected to the same or different
Ethernet “uplinks” using the RJ45-type connectors on the back of the AP. The
images of RJ45 connectors represent those RJ45 connectors on the AP. Each
image includes the label of the RJ45 port which it represents. Clicking an icon
switches between “tagged” and “un-tagged” modes. When the icon contains a
white “tag,” that port is tagged; otherwise it is un-tagged. If desired, wireless
traffic can be segmented into different VLAN IDs, which you configure using this
page.

■ VLAN port state icons: A “Member VLAN port” allows the network’s traffic to
flow through its associated RJ45 connector. If that port is configured for VLAN-
tagging, then the “tagged member VLAN port” icon will be displayed. A “non-
member VLAN port” does not allow network traffic to flow through the RJ45
connector.
Clicking an icon toggles that VLAN port between “member” and “non-member”
status. The port may automatically be marked as “tagged” where appropriate.

■ Show me an example: Clicking the button labeled Show me an example opens
a few sample configurations, with an explanation of what each shows.
■ Update Settings: When you click Update Settings, if any configuration settings
have changed, a connectivity test will be run. If the browser and the AP/Router
can communicate using the new VLAN settings, then they will remain set. If
