ProSAFE Wireless Controller 
Management VLAN and Data VLAN Strategies
If your network includes 10 or more access points, we recommend that you set up at least 
two VLAN groups: a management VLAN group and a data VLAN group. If your network is 
large, we recommend that you create a number of data VLAN groups. Setting up data VLANs 
for clients allows you to do the following:
Segregate traffic by user category
Create different policies such as access policies that are based on user category
3.
Configure the slave wireless controllers and deploy them in the 
network.
For each slave wireless controller, configure up to eight access 
point profile groups, and for each access point profile in a group, do 
at least the following:
 
1.
Configure an SSID for WiFi access.
Configuration > Profile > Advanced
2.
Configure the network authentication and data encryption.
3.
 Assign the VLAN.
4.
If necessary for the selected network authentication option, 
configure the authentication server.
Configuration > Security > 
Advanced > Authentication Server
4.
Interconnect the wireless controllers that you intend to make 
members of the stack. The connection must be a wired 
connection but does not need to be a direct connection, that is, a 
switch or router can be located in between the wireless 
controllers that are part of a stack.
 
5.
Configure the stacking group on the wireless controller that you 
intend as the master controller.
Stacking > Stacking
6.
Synchronize all wireless controllers that are members of the 
stack.
