History Introduced in WSS Version 6.0.

Usage Local switching allows traffic for specified VLANs to be switched by the AP itself, instead of being tunneled back to an WSS switch. The VLANs for which local switching is performed are specified in a VLAN profile.

Local switching can be enabled on APs that are connected to the WSS switch via an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. Local switching is not supported for APs that are directly connected to an WSS switch.

If local switching is enabled on an AP, but no VLAN profile is configured, then a default VLAN profile is used. The default VLAN profile includes a single VLAN named default that is not tagged.

Examples The following command enables local switching for AP 7:

WSS# set ap 7 local-switching mode enable

success: change accepted.
