Configuring VLANs Chapter 15
Configuring VLANs When you configure VLANs on access points, the native VLAN must be
VLAN1. In a single architecture, client traffic received by the access point is
tunneled through an IP-GRE tunnel, that is established on the access point’s
Ethernet interface native VLAN. Because of the IP-GRE tunnel, some users can
configure another switch port as VLAN1. This misconfiguration causes errors on
the switch port.
Configuring your access point to support VLANs is a three-step process:
1.
Enable the VLAN on the radio and Ethernet ports.
2.
Assign SSIDs to VLANs.
3.
Assign authentication settings to SSIDs.
Assigning SSIDs to VLANs.
This section describes how to assign SSIDs to VLANs and how to enable a
VLAN on the access point radio and Ethernet ports.
•
For detailed instructions on assigning authentication types to SSIDs, see
Configuring Authentication Types on page 351
•
For instructions on assigning other settings to SSIDs, see Configuring
Multiple SSIDs on page 279
You can configure up to 16 SSIDs on the access point, so you can support up to
16 VLANs that are configured on your LAN.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to assign an SSID to a
VLAN and enable the VLAN on the access point radio and Ethernet ports.
1.
Enter global configuration mode.
configure terminal
2.
Enter interface configuration mode for the radio interface.
•
The 2.4 GHz radio and the 2.4 GHz 802.11n radio is 0.
•
The 5 GHz radio and the 5 GHz 802.11n radio is 1.

3.
Create an SSID and enter SSID configuration mode for the new SSID.
The SSID can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. SSIDs are case
sensitive.
The SSID can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric, case-sensitive, characters.
The first character can not contain the following characters:
•
Exclamation point (!)
•
Pound sign (#)
•
Semicolon (;)
