Is it possible use a zyxel AP to tag an SSID so the SSID connects to a private vlan?


I have not purchased any zyxel APs yet I’m just trying to familiarize myself with all the options.

Thank you

    Hi @Tazman ,

    You can refer to this FAQ to configure to separate SSIDs between Zyxel APs.

    And then, go to Configure > Access point > SSID advanced setting to assign the VLAN ID for each SSID:

    Please make sure that the gateway and switch(es) have configured the corresponding VLAN interface.

    This answer makes it seem like it’s not possible. A private vlan is a vlan within a vlan, so I’d be real surprised if just tagging a vlan is enough.

    Hi @Tazman ,

    From you description, we assume that your goal is to avoid AP_1 and the wireless clients connect to AP_1 (connect to port 7) to communicate to AP_2 and the wireless clients connect to AP_2 (connect to port 8) although all of them are belong to VLAN10.

    If this is the case, after doing the configuration on the previous post, you may configure port isolation on Switch to achieve the goal.

    Steps:
    1. Advance application > VLAN > VLAN configuration > VLAN port setup
    2. Check the "Isolation" box where the APs are connected, and click "Apply" button.
