To support multiple wireless networks with traffic separation, the switch port connected to the access point must allow tagged traffic for multiple networks. This is achieved by configuring the port to allow tagged frames, typically by setting it as a trunk port under IEEE 802.1Q standards. This configuration enables the access point to transmit and receive traffic on multiple networks, each identified by a unique tag, ensuring proper segmentation and security.
Setting the switch port as an access port for the management network would limit the port to a single untagged network and prevent the access point from handling multiple networks. Enabling PortFast reduces Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) convergence time but does not affect the port's ability to support multiple networks. Combining the switch port into an EtherChannel increases bandwidth or redundancy but does not relate to handling multiple networks on a single port.
