5.2.5.2 Virtual Interface Configuration

Profile Interface Configuration
A Virtual Interface is required for layer 3 (IP) access to provide layer 3 service on a VLAN. The Virtual Interface defines which
IP address is associated with each VLAN ID the access point is connected to. A Virtual Interface is created for the default VLAN
(VLAN 1) to enable remote administration. A Virtual Interface is also used to map VLANs to IP address ranges. This mapping
determines the destination networks for routing.
