Chapter 6 Advanced Configuration Wireless > VLAN & QoS This screen allows you to configure the VLAN and QoS related settings for the Access Point. Wireless > VLAN & QoS VLAN The following options are global VLAN settings for the Access Point. VLAN Select Enabled if you want to pass 802.1q VLAN tagged traffic between the wired LAN and wireless LAN. Your Access Point will map the VLAN tag (wired side) to different SSIDs (wireless side) according to your specified settings. Select Disabled and your Access Point will drop all tagged traffic coming in from the wired LAN. The default is Disabled. Default VLAN ID Enter the default VLAN ID number (1 - 4094), the default value is 1. The default VLAN number should match with your Switch's settings. For example, the SRW2024 has Trunk port mode which set default VLAN (PVID) to 1 untagged, while General port mode can set PVID to any VLAN either tagged or untagged. VLAN Tag Set the tagging option for the default VLAN ID. This has to match your Switch's settings. The default is untagged. AP Management VLAN When the VLAN option is enabled, the value entered (VLAN ID) in this field defines the VLAN that connects to the Access Point. The default value is 1. The VLAN should be accessible from the wired side in order to use web-based utility. To access the web‑based utility from wireless side, the SSID needs to map to the same VLAN ID. Remember to enable wireless web access on the Administration > Management tab. QoS The following options are VLAN global settings for the Access Point. Default CoS (Priority) Select Enabled if you want to assign a default CoS value to each SSID. This option is automatically enabled when the VLAN option is enabled. The default is Disabled. U-APSD (Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery) This option is only available when WMM is enabled on any of the SSIDs. Select Enabled if you want client devices with U-APSD capability to take advantage of the power save mode. The default is Disabled. SSID Name Displays the SSIDs defined under the Basic Wireless Settings tab. If an SSID has been disabled, the options cannot be configured. VLAN ID Select a VLAN ID (1 - 4094) for the SSID where you want to map the traffic to on the wired side. The wireless traffic will not carry VLAN information. Multiple SSIDs can map to the same VLAN on the wired side. Priority You can assign the default priority (802.1p COS bits) for packets coming in from each wireless network by selecting a number from the drop-down menu. The higher the number, the higher the priority will be. The default is 0. Tx Rate Limitation You can limit the maximum data rate used in your network to save bandwidth and power consumption on client devices. The actual data rate is determined by the Auto-Fallback mechanism between your Access Point and a client device. The default is 54 Mbps for Mixed or G-Only wireless mode, 11 Mbps for BOnly mode. WMM Wi-Fi Multimedia is a QoS feature defined by the WiFi Alliance before IEEE 802.11e was finalized. Now it is part of IEEE 802.11e. When this is enabled, it provides four priority queues for different types of traffic. It automatically maps the incoming packets to the appropriate queues based on QoS settings (in the IP or layer 2 header). WMM provides the capability to prioritize wireless traffic in your environment. The default is Disabled (unchecked). Wireless-G Exterior Access Point with Power Over Ethernet 17

Wireless-G Exterior Access Point with Power Over Ethernet
Wireless > VLAN & QoS
This screen allows you to configure the VLAN and QoS
related settings for the Access Point.
Wireless > VLAN & QoS
VLAN
The following options are global VLAN settings for the
Access Point.
VLAN
Select Enabled if you want to pass 802.1q VLAN
tagged traffic between the wired LAN and wireless LAN.
Your Access Point will map the VLAN tag (wired side) to
different SSIDs (wireless side) according to your specified
settings. Select Disabled and your Access Point will drop all
tagged traffic coming in from the wired LAN. The default
is
Disabled
.
Default VLAN ID
Enter the default VLAN ID number (1
- 4094), the default value is
1
. The default VLAN number
should match with your Switch’s settings. For example,
the SRW2024 has Trunk port mode which set default VLAN
(PVID) to 1 untagged, while General port mode can set
PVID to any VLAN either tagged or untagged.
VLAN Tag
Set the tagging option for the default VLAN
ID. This has to match your Switch’s settings. The default is
untagged
.
AP Management VLAN
When the VLAN option is
enabled, the value entered (VLAN ID) in this field defines
the VLAN that connects to the Access Point. The default
value is
1
. The VLAN should be accessible from the wired
side in order to use web-based utility. To access the
web-based utility from wireless side, the SSID needs to
map to the same VLAN ID. Remember to enable wireless
web access on the
Administration > Management
tab.
QoS
The following options are VLAN global settings for the
Access Point.
Default CoS (Priority)
Select Enabled if you want to
assign a default CoS value to each SSID. This option is
automatically enabled when the VLAN option is enabled.
The default is
Disabled
.
U-APSD
(Unscheduled
Automatic
Power
Save
Delivery)
This option is only available when WMM is
enabled on any of the SSIDs. Select Enabled if you want
client devices with U-APSD capability to take advantage
of the power save mode. The default is
Disabled
.
SSID Name
Displays the SSIDs defined under the Basic
Wireless Settings tab. If an SSID has been disabled, the
options cannot be configured.
VLAN ID
Select a VLAN ID (1 - 4094) for the SSID where
you want to map the traffic to on the wired side. The
wireless traffic will not carry VLAN information. Multiple
SSIDs can map to the same VLAN on the wired side.
Priority
You can assign the default priority (802.1p COS
bits) for packets coming in from each wireless network
by selecting a number from the drop-down menu. The
higher the number, the higher the priority will be. The
default is 0.
Tx Rate Limitation
