Physical port setup is handled by your network people.  "Do not try this 
at home."

A few things to remember:
- Every VLAN represents a unique subnet
- Routing between the subnets is controlled by your external 
switch/router.
- Do not casually connect a single guest to multiple VLANs.  This is where 
you can easily introduce security problems.
- If you use the VSWITCH, you don't have to configure each guest to be 
VLAN-aware.  CP will hide it.  When you authorize a guest to a VSWITCH, 
you can set his VLAN ID.  This is just like access ("regular") ports on 
the physical switch.  They are typically assigned to a VLAN - you just 
don't know it and don't care, a.k.a. "the miracle in step 2".
