„User VLAN—An IP interface must be configured on the user’s VLAN. The interface must be in the subnet on which the DHCP server will place the user, so that the switch can communicate with both the client and the client’s preferred DNS server. (To configure a VLAN, see “Configuring and Managing VLANs” on page 87.)

If users will roam from the switch where they connect to the network to other WX switches, the system IP addresses of the switches should not be in the web-portal VLAN.

Although the SSID’s default VLAN and the user VLAN must be the same, you can use a location policy on the switch where the service profile is configured to move the user to another VLAN. The other VLAN is not required to be statically configured on the switch. The VLAN does have the same requirements as other user VLANs, as described above. For example, the user VLAN on the roamed-to switch must have an IP interface, the interface must be in the subnet that has DHCP, and the subnet must be the same one the DHCP server will place the user in.

In MSS Version 4.1 and earlier, the VLAN was required to be statically configured on the WX switch where WebAAA was configured and through which the user accessed the network. MSS Version 4.2 removes this restriction. The VLAN you want to place an authenticated WebAAA user on does not need to be statically configured on the switch where Web Portal is configured. If the VLAN you assign to a user is not statically configured on the VLAN where the user accesses the network, the switch where the user accessed the network builds a tunnel to the switch where the user’s VLAN is configured. That switch uses DHCP to assign an IP address to the user.
