Advanced Configuration

traffic that has an unknown VLAN ID or no VLAN tag is dropped. When VLAN support is disabled, the wireless bridge does not tag traffic passing to the wired network and ignores the VLAN tags on any received frames.

Note: Before enabling VLANs on the wireless bridge, you must configure the connected LAN switch port to accept tagged VLAN packets with the wireless bridge’s native VLAN ID. Otherwise, connectivity to the wireless bridge will be lost when you enable the VLAN feature.

Up to 64 VLAN IDs can be mapped to specific wireless clients, allowing users to remain within the same VLAN as they move around a campus site. This feature can also be used to control access to network resources from wireless clients, thereby improving security.

A VLAN ID (1-4094) is assigned to a client after successful authentication using IEEE 802.1X and a central RADIUS server. The user VLAN IDs must be configured on the RADIUS server for each user authorized to access the network. If a user does not have a configured VLAN ID, the access point assigns the user to its own configured native VLAN ID.

When setting up VLAN IDs for each user on the RADIUS server, be sure to use the RADIUS attributes and values as indicated in the following table.
