Which configuration option can be used for connecting an access point to a VLAN?

Connecting an access point to a VLAN through a VLAN switch is the correct choice. This method allows the access point to segment traffic appropriately by utilizing the VLAN tagging feature in network configurations. VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) enable the separation of network traffic for different groups of users or devices, improving organization and enhancing security.

When an access point is connected to a VLAN switch, it can receive VLAN tags from the switch that dictate the specific VLAN to which traffic belongs. This is important for ensuring that data packets are properly routed within the network and for applying appropriate policies, such as QoS (Quality of Service) settings or security protocols.

This approach also supports scenarios where multiple SSIDs (Service Set Identifiers) are configured on the access point, allowing each SSID to correspond with a different VLAN. As a result, users connecting to different SSIDs can be placed on the correct VLAN according to their needs, enabling proper traffic management and access control.
