Ethernet VLAN
Use this option to bind the wireless community to a specific VLAN on the Ethernet port. All 
traffic sent/received on the Ethernet port by the wireless community will be assigned to the 
VLAN you specify.
If you do not set a VLAN, traffic is sent untagged. However, a VLAN can still be assigned on a 
per-user basis by setting an attribute in the users RADIUS account (when using RADIUS-
based authentication).
