254CHAPTER 10: CONFIGURING MAP ACCESS POINTS

To enable local switching for MAP 7, type the following command:

WX# set ap 7 local-switching mode enable success: change accepted.

Applying a VLAN Profile to a MAP

To apply a VLAN profile to a MAP to use with local switching, use the following command:

set ap apnumber local-switching vlan-profile profile-name

When a VLAN profile is applied to a MAP, traffic for the VLANs specified in the VLAN profile is locally switched by the MAP instead of being tunneled back to a WX switch.

If local switching is enabled on a MAP, but no VLAN profile is configured, then a default VLAN profile is used. The default VLAN profile includes a single VLAN named default that is not tagged.

When applying a VLAN profile causes traffic that had been tunneled to a WX switch to be locally switched by MAPs, or vice-versa, the sessions of clients associated with the MAPs where the VLAN profile is applied are terminated, and the clients must re-associate with the MAPs.

To specify that MAP 7 use VLAN profile locals, type the following command:

WX# set ap 7 local-switching vlan-profile locals success: change accepted.

Clearing the VLAN Profile from a MAP

To clear the VLAN profile that had been applied to a MAP, use the following command:

clear ap ap-numberlocal-switching vlan-profile

When the VLAN profile is cleared from the MAP, traffic that had been locally switched is tunneled to a WX switch.

When clearing a VLAN profile causes traffic that had been locally switched by MAPs to be tunneled to a WX switch, the sessions of clients associated with the MAPs where the VLAN profile is applied are terminated, and the clients must re-associate with the MAPs.
