5. Advanced Configuration 5 This chapter describes how to configure the advanced features of your ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP360. This chapter includes the following sections: • Spanning Tree Protocol and 802.1Q VLAN • Hotspot Settings • Configure Advanced Wireless Settings • Configure Advanced QoS Settings • Configure Wireless Bridging Spanning Tree Protocol and 802.1Q VLAN The advanced General system settings screen allows you to enable the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and configure the VLANs. STP provides network traffic optimization in locations where multiple wireless access points are active. The 802.1Q VLAN protocol on the wireless access point logically separates traffic on the same physical network: • Untagged VLAN. When the wireless access point sends frames that are associated with the untagged VLAN from its Ethernet interface, those frames are untagged. When the wireless 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. Selecting the Untagged VLAN check box or changing the untagged VLAN value will result in a loss of IP connectivity if the hubs and switches on your LAN have not yet been configured with the corresponding VLAN. 81

Advanced Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure the advanced features of your ProSafe Dual Band
Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP360. This chapter includes the following sections:
•
Spanning Tree Protocol and 802.1Q VLAN
•
Hotspot Settings
•
Configure Advanced Wireless Settings
•
Configure Advanced QoS Settings
•
Configure Wireless Bridging
Spanning Tree Protocol and 802.1Q VLAN
The advanced General system settings screen allows you to enable the Spanning Tree
Protocol (STP) and configure the VLANs.
STP provides network traffic optimization in locations where multiple wireless access points
are active.
The 802.1Q VLAN protocol on the wireless access point logically separates traffic on the
same physical network:
•
Untagged VLAN
. When the wireless access point sends frames that are associated with
the untagged VLAN from its Ethernet interface, those frames are untagged. When the
wireless 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. Selecting the Untagged VLAN
check box or changing the untagged VLAN value will result in a loss
of IP connectivity if the hubs and switches on your LAN have not yet
been configured with the corresponding VLAN.
