VLAN bridging
If you assign a VLAN ID to more than one interface, the VLAN is bridged across the
interfaces.
For example, if you create the VLANs shown in the following table, all VLAN traffic with ID
50 is bridged across all three interfaces. If you create a VSC and assign the egress VLAN to
any of these VLANs, output from the VSC can be sent to any interface.
Bandwidth control
The AP incorporates a bandwidth management feature that provides control of outgoing user
traffic on the wireless ports.
To configure Bandwidth control, select Network > Bandwidth control.
If outgoing traffic arrives at the rate defined by the specified bandwidth limit (or less), it
is processed without delay.
If outgoing traffic arrives at a rate that is greater than the defined bandwidth limit, it
causes the AP to throttle the traffic. If the traffic rate is over-limit for just a short burst,
the data will be queued and forwarded without loss. If the traffic rate is over-limit for a
sustained period, the AP will drop data to bring the rate down to the bandwidth limit that
is set.
For example, if you set bandwidth control to 5000 kbps, the maximum rate at which traffic
can be sent to wireless client stations is 5000 kbps.
