VLAN Tutorials

Tutorial 1: Simple Hotel configuration

When using a Nomadix subscriber gateway, a special VLAN configuration is required to support unique authentication options for each group of subscribers. For example, in a hotel with both a wired and wireless Internet access, the gateway must use a VLAN ID to identify all users from the wireless network, and a different VLAN ID to identify all users from the wired network. Thus, every user on the mT2 must have the same VLAN ID.

In order to accomplish this, while still maintaining port-to-port privacy, follow this tutorial.

Privacy and QoS in this network:

Every WallPlate will have the same VLAN IDs

Privacy enforced between rooms by the port privacy feature on the mT2 switch

QoS is not used

VLAN-Ids used in this tutorial:

100 VLAN used for all wired ports in the network. This VLAN will transmit on the upstream network

Third party network configuration:

The mT2 switches will connect to an upstream switch; likely a Cisco or HP. Both these brands offer a port privacy feature that does not rely on 802.1Q VLANs; similar to the function of Port Privacy in the mT2 switch. It is recommended that port isolation be implemented on all aggregation switches upstream of the mT2.

Enable and create VLANs

vlan enable

vlan mode local-mode port-based remote-mode tag-based system reboot

vlan add vlan-id 100

Assign the PVID for the WallPlate ports

vlan interface ingress port(1-25)-(1-2) pvid 100

Assign VLAN memberships to WallPlate ports

vlan membership add 100 interface port(1-25)-(1-2)
