VLAN configuration
It is often desirable to separate SVP packets from other data streams once the traffic enters the wired network. In the Meru solution, creating a VLAN entry in the controller and assigning it to the SVP ESSID achieves this. This is an optional configuration component.
vlan SVP_VLAN tag 1001
ip address 10.4.0.250 255.255.0.0 ip default-gateway 10.4.0.1
ip dhcp-override ip dhcp-passthrough exit
Deployment modes
The Meru Networks Air Traffic Control system supports two modes of deployment: Virtual Cell and non-Virtual Cell. In Virtual Cell mode, all of the access points on the same channel will utilize a single BSSID. This allows the system to perform client handoffs between access points without the client devices needing to perform 802.11 or 802.1X re-association procedures to the new access point. In a high density environment it is required that you use non-Virtual Cell mode with the wireless IP telephones, since the they are optimized to work with a multi-channel deployment and perform admission control based on access point BSSID’s. Following are the specific settings in order to run in non-Virtual Cell mode.
