If you want to use different VLAN IDs on a single logical wireless LAN network (SSID), you have the option to assign the appropriate group key for broadcast and multicast transmissions. This setting in LANconfig is found under
The automatic assignment of group keys is carried out in the following steps:
- When a wireless LAN client logs on, the access point checks whether its VLAN ID is already listed in the status table and assigned to a group key accordingly.

- If there is no manual assignment either, the access point adds a new entry for this client and assigns the group key with the fewest users.
The status table displaying the current automatic VLAN group key assignments for each SSID can be found on the command line at
