Greetings,

We are a WISP based in Africa and have recently purchased the PMP 450b for Subscriber Modules (SM) and the PMP 450 for Access Points (AP). We are facing challenges with network configuration, particularly with VLAN settings, as we need to support two scenarios: single VLAN and trunking.

Could anyone provide clear guidance or best practices on how to properly configure these settings? Your support would be greatly appreciated.

Hello @Mahmoud_Ahmed1 ,
