12.1.3 Enabling / Disabling Virtual Wireless Networks On The AP
If you want to configure the Internal network as a VLAN (whether or not you have a
Guest network configured), you can enable “Virtual Wireless Networks” on the
access point.
You must enable this feature if you want to configure additional virtual networks on
VLANs on the Advanced > Virtual Wireless Networks tab as described in “Config-
uring VLANs” on page 157.
