1-12 Overview of the WFS709TP
v1.0, June 2007
.
A user is assigned to a VLAN by one of several methods, and there is an order of precedence to
these methods.The methods for assignment of VLANs are (from lowest to highest precedence):
1. The VLAN is configured for the AP location.
2. The VLAN is derived from rules based on user attributes SSID, BSSID (Basic Service Set
Identifier), user MAC, location, and encryption type. Within the set of possible user-derivation
rules, a rule that derives a specific VLAN takes precedence over a rule that derives a user role
that may have a VLAN configured for it.
3. The VLAN is configured for a default role for an authentication method, such as 802.1x or
VPN.
