SonicWALL 5.8.1 Manuale Utente

A Wireless LAN (WLAN) subnet allows you to split a single wireless radio interface (W0) into 
many virtual network connections, each carrying its own set of configurations. The WLAN 
subnet solution allows each VAP to have its own virtual separate subinterface, even though 
there is only a single 802.11 radio.

WLAN subnets have several key capabilities and characteristics of a physical interface, 
including zone assignability, security services, WAN assignability (static addressing only), 
GroupVPN, DHCP server, IP Helper, routing, and full NAT policy and Access Rule controls. 
Features excluded from WLAN subnets at this time are VPN policy binding, WAN dynamic 
client support, and multicast support.

WLAN subnets are configured from the Network > Interfaces page.
