Configuring Virtual Access Points 65
5 Managing the Access Point
NOTE: After you configure the VAP settings, you must click Update to apply the
changes and to save the settings. Changing some access point settings might
cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless
clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change
access point settings when WLAN traffic is low.

•
