Specifying VLAN information
To specify 802.1Q VLAN tagging information for a Distributed AP, use the following command:
set ap ap-num boot-vlan vlan-tag tag-value [mode {enable | disable}]
When this command is configured, all Ethernet frames emitted from the Distributed AP are formatted with an 802.1Q
tag with a specified VLAN number. Frames sent to the Distributed AP that are not tagged with this value are ignored.
The following command configures Distributed AP 1 to use VLAN tag 100:
WSS# set ap 1 boot-vlan vlan-tag 100 mode enable
success: change accepted.
Clearing an AP from the configuration
To clear the port settings from a port, use the following command:
clear port type port-list
This command resets the port as a network port and removes all AP-related parameters from the port.
To clear a Distributed AP, use the following command:
clear ap ap-num
Changing AP names
The default name of a directly attached AP is based on the port number of the AP access port attached to the AP. For
example, the default name for an AP on AP access port 1 is AP01. The default name of a Distributed AP is based on the
number you assign to it when you configure the connection. For example, the default name for Distributed AP 1 is ap01.
AP names appear in the output of some CLI show commands and in WLAN Management Software . To change the
name of an AP, use the following command:
set {ap port-list | ap ap-num} name name
Caution! When you clear an AP, WSS Software ends user sessions that are using the AP.
Note. The clear port type command does not place the cleared port in any VLAN, not
even in the default VLAN (VLAN 1). To use the cleared port in a VLAN, you must add the
port to the VLAN. (For instructions, see “Adding ports to a VLAN” (page 106).)
