Dual-Band Wireless AC Access Point WAC720 and WAC730 User Manual 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 132).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 16. 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. 5.
