VLAN Commands
The access point can enable the support of VLAN-tagged traffic
passing between wireless clients and the wired network. 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.
When VLAN is enabled on the access point, a VLAN ID (a
number between 1 and 4095) can be assigned to each 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.
Note: When VLANs are enabled, the access point’s Ethernet port drops
all received traffic that does not include a VLAN tag. To maintain
network connectivity to the access point and wireless clients, be
sure that the access point is connected to a device port that
supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tags.
The VLAN commands supported by the access point are listed
below.
