To support multiple SSIDs mapped to different VLANs on an Access Point (AP), the switch port connected to the AP must be configured as a trunk port. This allows the AP to carry traffic for multiple VLANs over a single physical connection. Configuring the port as an access port assigned to a single VLAN would limit the AP to supporting only one VLAN, which is insufficient for multiple SSIDs. An EtherChannel port group is used for link aggregation, typically for bandwidth increase or redundancy, not for supporting multiple VLANs in this context. A routed port with an IP address is used for Layer 3 interfaces and is not appropriate for connecting an AP that operates at Layer 2.
