Abstract
An access point in a wireless communication system can be configured to include multiple virtual LANS (VLANs) based on security levels, thereby allowing secure traffic to be isolated from insecure traffic. Configuring the access point can include assigning a security level to each VLAN and setting a security association for each station associated with the access point. Based on this security association, each station can be assigned to an appropriate VLAN.
