Configuring The Management, Ap-Manager, Virtual, And Service-Port Interfaces; Using The Gui To Configure The Management, Ap-Manager, Virtual, And Service-Port Interfaces - Cisco SD2008T-NA Configuration Manual

Configuring the Management, AP-Manager, Virtual, and Service-Port Interfaces

Cisco recommends that only tagged VLANs be used on the controller. You should also allow only
relevant VLANs on the neighbor switch's 802.1Q trunk connections to controller ports. All other
VLANs should be disallowed or pruned in the switch port trunk configuration. This practice is extremely
important for optimal performance of the controller.
Cisco recommends that you assign one set of VLANs for WLANs and a different set of VLANs for
Note
management interfaces to ensure that controllers properly route VLAN traffic.
Follow the instructions on the pages indicated to configure your controller's interfaces and ports:

Configuring the Management, AP-Manager, Virtual, and
Service-Port Interfaces
Typically, you define the management, AP-manager, virtual, and service-port interface parameters using
the Startup Wizard. However, you can display and configure interface parameters through either the GUI
or CLI after the controller is running.
Note When assigning a WLAN to a DHCP server, both should be on the same subnet. Otherwise, you will
need to use a router to route traffic between the WLAN and the DHCP server.
Using the GUI to Configure the Management, AP-Manager, Virtual, and
Service-Port Interfaces
Follow these steps to display and configure the management, AP-manager, virtual, and service-port
interface parameters using the GUI.
