SonicOS 7.1 Access Points

Prerequisites

Before configuring your virtual access points, be aware of the following:

  • Each SonicWall access point must be explicitly enabled for virtual access point support. To verify, navigate to the DEVICE | Access Points > Settings page. Then click the Edit icon for the Access Point Provisioning Profiles > General Settings: Enable option to enable VAP.
  • Access points must be linked to a WLAN zone on your SonicWall network security appliance to provision the access points.
  • When using VAPs with VLANs, you must ensure that the physical access point discovery and provisioning packets remain untagged (unless being terminated natively into a VLAN subinterface on the firewall).
  • You must also ensure that VAP packets that are VLAN tagged by the access point are delivered unaltered (neither un-encapsulated nor double-encapsulated) by any intermediate equipment, such as a VLAN capable switch, on the network.
  • Be aware that maximum access point restrictions apply and differ based on your SonicWall security appliance.
