 ProSafe 16 AP Wireless Management System WMS5316
Note:  
The untagged VLAN check box should be cleared only if the hubs 
or switches on your LAN support the VLAN (802.1Q) standard. 
Likewise, the untagged VLAN value should be changed only if the 
hubs and switches on your LAN support the VLAN (802.1Q) 
standard.
Changing either of these values will result in a loss of IP connectivity if the hubs and switches 
on your network have not yet been configured with the corresponding VLANs.
Management VLANs are used for managing traffic (Telnet, SNMP, and HTTP) to and from the 
wireless management system and managed access points.
Frames belonging to the management VLAN are not given any 802.1Q header when sent 
over the trunk. If a port is in a single VLAN, it can be untagged. But if the port needs to be a 
member of multiple VLANs, it needs to be tagged.

pools can be added for different VLANs. Click the Configuration tab and select System >

the DHCP pool being added is only for a particular VLAN.
