What does enabling VLAN tagging on a hotspot configuration allow?

Enabling VLAN tagging on a hotspot configuration permits the association of different virtual local area networks (VLANs) with specific service set identifiers (SSIDs). This capability is essential for managing network access and permissions, allowing for precise control over which users can access certain network resources.

When VLAN tagging is utilized, it enables the hotspot to segment traffic effectively; thus, different groups of users connected to the same physical access point can be restricted to their respective SSIDs rather than accessing all network resources indiscriminately. This is particularly useful in environments where varying levels of access are needed, such as public hotspots where guests should have different restrictions compared to employees or administrators.

This segmentation of network traffic not only enhances security by limiting unauthorized access but also improves network management by allowing administrators to define different policies and configurations based on the VLAN associated with each SSID.
