Command Description
•Changing the VLAN status of the access point requires a system reboot.
•When VLANs are enabled, the access point tags frames received from wireless clients with the native VLAN ID for the radio interface. If IEEE 802.1x is being used to authenticate wireless clients, specific VLAN IDs can be configured on the RADIUS server to be assigned to each client. Using IEEE 802.1x and a central RADIUS server, up to 64 VLAN IDs can be mapped to specific wireless clients.
•If the VLAN ID has not been configured for a client on the RADIUS server, then the frames are tagged with the native VLAN ID of the radio interface.
•When using IEEE 802.1x to dynamically assign VLAN IDs, the access point must have 802.1x authentication enabled and a RADIUS server configured. Wireless clients must also support 802.1x client software.
•Traffic entering the Ethernet port must be tagged with a VLAN ID that matches the access point’s management VLAN ID, a radio interface native VLAN ID, or with a VLAN tag that matches one of the wireless clients currently associated with the access point.
