Insight Cloud Managed WiFi 6 AX3600 Access Point Model WAX620 Set the 802.1Q VLAN and management VLAN The 802.1Q VLAN protocol on the access point logically separates traffic on the same physical (wired) network. This protocol can work with tagged and untagged VLANs, as follows: • Untagged VLAN: The access point sends untagged frames from its Ethernet interface. Incoming untagged frames are assigned to the untagged VLAN. By default, the untagged VLAN is VLAN 1. By default, the access point functions with an untagged VLAN. • Tagged VLAN: The access point tags all frames that it sends from its Ethernet interface. Only the incoming frames that are tagged with known VLAN IDs are accepted. The management VLAN is used for managing traffic such as Telnet, SNMP, HTTP, and HTTPS traffic sent to and from the access point. Frames that belong to the management VLAN and that are sent over the trunk do not receive an 802.1Q header. If a port is a member of a single VLAN, its traffic can be untagged. A management VLAN and the following features are mutually exclusive: • mDNS gateway (see Manage the multicast DNS gateway on page 145) • NAT mode (see Set NAT mode or Bridge mode for addressing and traffic on page 200) To set the 802.1Q VLAN and management VLAN: 1. Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection. 2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point. A login window displays. If your browser displays a security warning, you can proceed, or add an exception for the security warning. For more information, see What to do if you get a browser security warning on page 43. 3. Enter the access point user name and password. The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified. The user name and password are case-sensitive. Manage the Local Area Network 137 and IP Settings User Manual
