A virtual local area network (VLAN) is a private network accessible to certain users. In Kube, each company has its own VLAN that its members use. Companies cannot access another company's VLANs.
A special VLAN is a virtual local area network that is used to add shared devices, throttle connection speed for guest users, and for troubleshooting. Kube comes with preset special VLANs for voice, wireless application protocol (WAP), guest, and utility networks.
This article is part of the Kube data-Wi-Fi setup flow. For more information, see Kube setup checklist.
NOTES:
If your organization has not purchased Kube IT Management or higher, Kube does not show data/Wi-Fi information.
Depending on your assigned role and permissions, and the version of Kube your organization uses, some or all of these menus or services may not be available or displayed.
After you add a special VAN, you can click the special VLAN's name to see more information about it, such as the devices connected and the network settings.
If you are unsure of the special VLAN settings to use, contact your IT department or Yardi technical support.
