Field Description
Radio Scheduler Prole Operational Status
1 or 2 From the menu, select the Scheduler prole to associate with Radio 1 or Radio 2.
Scheduler Prole From the menu, select the Scheduler prole to associate with the Radio.
Status The operational status of the Scheduler. The range is Up or Down.
VAP Scheduler Prole Operational Status
Radio From the menu, select Radio 1 or Radio 2 to associate the VAP Scheduler Prole.
0-15 From the menu, select the Scheduler prole to associate with the respective VAP.
Status The operational status of the Scheduler. The range is Up or Down.
Table 21 - Scheduler Association Settings
Note: After you associate a Scheduler prole with a Radio interface or a VAP interface, you must
click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings.
Virtual Access Point Settings
To change VAP 0 or to enable and congure additional VAPs, select the VAP tab in the Manage section.
VAPs segment the wireless LAN into multiple broadcast domains that are the wireless equivalent of Ethernet VLANs.
VAPs simulate multiple APs in one physical AP. Each radio supports up to 16 VAPs.
For each VAP, you can customize the security mode to control wireless client access. Each VAP can also have
a unique SSID. Multiple SSIDs make a single AP look like two or more APs to other systems on the network.
By conguring VAPs, you can maintain better control over broadcast and multicast trafc, which affects network
performance.
You can congure each VAP to use a different VLAN, or you can congure multiple VAPs to use the same VLAN,
whether the VLAN is on the same radio or on a different radio. VAP0, which is always enabled on both radios, is
assigned to the default VLAN 1.
The AP adds VLAN ID tags to wireless client trafc based on the VLAN ID you congure on the VAP page or by using
the RADIUS server assignment. If you use an external RADIUS server, you can congure multiple VLANs on each
VAP. The external RADIUS server assigns wireless clients to the VLAN when the clients associate and authenticate.
You can congure up to four global IPv4 or IPv6 RADIUS servers. One of the servers always acts as a primary while
the others act as backup servers. The network type (IPv4 or IPv6) and accounting mode are common across all
congured RADIUS servers. You can congure each VAP to use the global RADIUS server settings, which is the
default, or you can congure a per-VAP RADIUS server set. You can also congure separate RADIUS server settings
for each VAP. For example, you can congure one VAP to use an IPv6 RADIUS server while other VAPs use the
global IPv4 RADIUS server settings you congure.
If wireless clients use a security mode that does not communicate with the RADIUS server, or if the RADIUS server
does not provide the VLAN information, you can assign a VLAN ID to each VAP. The AP assigns the VLAN to all
wireless clients that connect to the AP through that VAP.
Note: Before you congure VLANs on the AP, be sure to verify that the switch and DHCP server
the AP uses can support IEEE 802.1Q VLAN encapsulation.
To set up multiple VAPs, click Manage > VAP.
