The AP allows you to segment wireless networks into multiple 
sub-networks based on Network Name (SSID) and VLAN membership.

A Network Name (SSID) identifies a wireless network. Clients associate 
with Access Points that share its SSID. During installation, the 

 prompts you to configure one Network Name for each wireless 

interface. After initial setup, the AP can be configured to support up to 16 
SSIDs per wireless interface to segment wireless networks based on 
VLAN membership.

NOTE:
For Dual-radio APs: APs with an 11a Upgrade Kit or 802.11b/g Kit 
support up to 16 VLAN/SSID pairs. APs with an 802.11b PC Card or 
a 5 GHz Upgrade Kit support only one VLAN/SSID per radio.

Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are logical groupings of network 
hosts. Defined by software settings, other VLAN members or resources 
appear (to clients) to be on the same physical segment, no matter where 
they are attached on the logical LAN or WAN segment. They simplify 
traffic flow between clients and their frequently-used or restricted 
resources.
