Avaya AP-6, AP-4, AP-5 manual Vlan Workgroups

Symptoms and Solutions

VLAN Workgroups

The correct VLAN assignment can be verified by pinging the AP to ensure connectivity, by pinging the switch to ensure VLAN properties, and by pinging hosts past the switch to confirm the switch is functional. Ultimately, traffic can be “sniffed” on the Ethernet or WDS interfaces (if configured) using third-party packages. Most problems can be avoided by ensuring that 802.1Q compliant VLAN tags containing the proper VLAN ID have been inserted in the bridged frames. The VLAN ID in the header should correspond to the user’s assigned network name.

What if network traffic is being directed to a nonexistent host?

•All sessions are disconnected, traffic is lost, and a manual override is necessary

•Workaround: you can configure the switch to mimic the nonexistent host

I have just configured the Management ID and now I can't manage the AP?

•Check to ensure your password is correct. If your password is incorrect or all inbound packets do NOT have the correct tag, then a manual override is necessary.

! CAUTION:

The manual override process disconnects all users and resets all values to factory defaults.
