Cisco Systems DL-2159-05 manual Using the Configuration Screens, Creating the Native Vlan

Chapter 4 Configuring VLANs

A Wireless VLAN Deployment Example

Using the Configuration Screens

Using the example outlined above, this section describes how to use the configuration screens to configure VLANs on your access point.

To create and enable VLANs on your access point you must complete the following procedures:

1.Obtain and record the VLAN ID and setup information for the switch to which your access point will communicate.

2.Create and configure the VLANs on your access point.

3.Create and configure the SSIDs to which the VLANs will associate.

4.Enable VLAN (802.1Q) tagging.

5.Identify the native VLAN.

Obtaining and Recording VLAN ID and Setup Information

See your organization’s network administrator to obtain the information you need to create VLANs on your access point. For this example, Table 4-2lists the information required to configure the VLANs on the access point.

Table 4-2 Configuration for VLAN Deployment Example

	VLAN
SSID	ID	Security Policy
Infrastructure VLAN	1	IEEE 802.1x with Static WEP + TKIP/MIC
Full-time	2	IEEE 802.1x with Dynamic WEP + TKIP/MIC
Part-time	3	IEEE 802.1x with Dynamic WEP + TKIP/MIC
Guest	5	Open with no WEP
Maintenance	4	Open with WEP + MAC authentication

Creating and Configuring VLANs on the Access Point

For this example, you will create 5 VLANs using the information in Table 3-2.

Note To avoid error messages in the event log, do not enable the VLANs until you have finished creating them and associated SSIDs to them.

Creating the Native VLAN

You must create and identify a native VLAN before the access point can connect to the trunk and communicate with the switch. Follow these steps to create the native VLAN.

Step 1 Use your web browser to browse to the access point’s summary status page.

Step 2 Click Setup. The Setup page appears.

Step 3 In the Associations section, click VLAN. The VLAN Setup page appears (Figure 4-6).
