Virtual LAN

In this section:

1. How Dynamic VLAN Works
   Dynamic VLAN can be used to automatically and dynamically assign wireless clients to different VLANs based on RADIUS attributes.

   7.0 update

   The maximum number of VLANs supported in Dynamic VLAN per 11ax Virtual AP (VAP) is increased to 128 VLANs.
2. Required RADIUS Attributes
   For dynamic VLAN to work, you must configure the following RADIUS attributes for each user:
3. How It Works
4. VLAN Pooling
   When Wi-Fi is deployed in a high-density environment such as a stadium or a university campus, the number of IP addresses required for client devices can easily run into the thousands. Allocating thousands of clients into a single, large subnet or VLAN can result in degraded performance due to factors such as broadcast and multicast traffic. VLAN pooling is adopted to address this problem.
5. VLAN Precedence
   Clients are assigned to VLANs by various methods, and there is an order of precedence by which VLANs are assigned and rate limiting is applied. The assignment is commonly from lowest to highest precedence. However, you can create a VLAN Precedence Profile where you can change the order of these precedences.
6. VLAN Name
   Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network segmented by function or application without a regard to physical location. A VLAN breaks single network into multiple sections thus effectively creating multiple stand alone networks out of the same network. This is secure and reduces number of broadcasts received on individual device.
