4.4.1.3 Tag VLAN
- [Available in Access Point mode ONLY]
While a port-based VLAN is limited in size since it can only exist within the
confines of a single Ethernet switch, a Tag VLAN is designed to extend the
wired VLAN to individual wireless clients.
Here, each VLAN is identified by a ‘tag’, which the switch associates with
specific ports. The switch will then pass this tag information with every data
packet transmitted. By using the same tag on each access point in the network,
full client roaming can be implemented while complying with VLAN
integrity.
