7.2.1.2 SSIDs SSIDs can work together with switches supporting 802.1Q VLAN. The EAP can build up to eight virtual wireless networks per radio for users to access. At the same time, it adds different VLAN tags to the clients which connect to the corresponding wireless network. It supports maximum 8 VLANs per radio. The clients in different VLAN cannot directly communicate with each other. Clients connected to the device via cable do not belong to any VLAN. Thus wired client can communicate with all the wireless clients despite the VLAN settings. Click in the Modify column, the following content will be shown.

tags to the clients which connect to the corresponding wireless network. It supports maximum
8 VLANs per radio. The clients in different VLAN cannot directly communicate with each other.
Clients connected to the device via cable do not belong to any VLAN. Thus wired client can
communicate with all the wireless clients despite the VLAN settings.
