7 Virtual access points configuration
On each wireless interface, up to 16 virtual access points can be configured. Each access point may have
individual name of wireless network (SSID) and type of authentication/authorization. According to the network
scheme given in the figure 1, it is necessary to configure 2 virtual access points on Radio 1 and Radio 2.
Band Steer feature allows clients having opportunity of operation at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz to set priority of
connection to virtual access points operating at 5 GHz.
The following is necessary for Band Steer feature operation:
create virtual access points (VAP) with the same SSID on each radio interface;
when using encryption, make sure that the passwords on the created VAPs match;
activate Band Steer parameter on VAP.
In the Managemenu, open the VAPtab and perform the following:
Configuring Radio 1:
Radio – select radio interface on which VAP will be configured. Select 1;
Enabled – enable VAP. Check the boxes for VAP 0 and VAP1;
VLAN ID –VLAN number from which the tag will be removed when transmitting Wi-Fi traffic to clients
connected to this VAP. When traffic flows in the opposite direction, untagged traffic from clients will be
tagged with VLAN ID (when VLAN Trunk mode is disabled):
set VLAN ID value100for VAP 0;
set VLAN ID value1for VAP 1.
SSID – wireless network name:
set SSID value Work Networkfor VAP 0;
set SSID value Free Networkfor VAP 1.
Station Isolation – forbid packet transmission among access point’s clients. Check the box.
Band Steer – set a priority of users connection to SSID configured at 5 GHz. Check the box.
VLAN Priority – the 2nd priority level which will be assigned to packets transmitted through the given
VAP from radio environment to wired network.
Security – secure network mode:
set WPA Personalvalue for VAP 0;
set a password for this network connection in the Keyfield;
set value Nonefor VAP 1.
To apply a new configuration and save setting to non-volatile memory of the access point, click Update.
