Hi folks,
As you may know if you've played around with recent Apple Airports =
(Express at least) in bridge mode with "guest network" turned on, they =
seem to know about 802.1q and have fairly reasonable or at least =
defensible behavior out of the box - that is to say they move the =
"native" SSID as untagged, and the "guest" SSID tagged 802.1q VLAN 1003.
This behavior does not appear to be field-modifyable.
So, who else has seen this sort of behavior from other consumer devices, =
running mixed tagged/untagged VLANs in a non-reconfigurable way?
I'd be grateful for any and all pointers.
Thanks,
-r
