Chapter 20 VLAN Table 79 VLAN > RADIUS VLAN LABEL Name Apply Reset DESCRIPTION Type a name to have the NWA check for specific VLAN attributes on incoming messages from the RADIUS server. Access-accept packets sent by the RADIUS server contain VLAN related attributes. The configured Name fields are checked against these attributes. If a configured Name field matches these attributes, the corresponding VLAN ID is added to packets sent from this user to the LAN. If the VLAN-related attributes sent by the RADIUS server do not match a configured Name field, a wireless station is assigned the wireless VLAN ID associated with its SSID (unless the Block station if RADIUS server assign VLAN error! check box is selected). Click Apply to save your changes to the NWA. Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh. 20.3 Technical Reference This section provides some technical background information and configuration examples about the topics covered in this chapter. 20.3.1 VLAN Tagging The NWA supports IEEE 802.1q VLAN tagging. Tagged VLAN uses an explicit tag (VLAN ID) in the MAC header of a frame to identify VLAN membership. The NWA can identify VLAN tags for incoming Ethernet frames and add VLAN tags to outgoing Ethernet frames. Note: You must connect the NWA to a VLAN-aware device that is a member of the management VLAN in order to perform management. See the Configuring Management VLAN example BEFORE you configure the VLAN screens. 20.3.2 Configuring Management VLAN Example This section shows you how to create a VLAN on an Ethernet switch. By default, the port on the NWA is a member of the management VLAN (VLAN ID 1). The following procedure shows you how to configure a tagged VLAN. Note: Use the out-of-band management port or console port to configure the switch if you misconfigure the management VLAN and lock yourself out from performing in-band management. 254 NWA-3160 Series User's Guide
