Scenario Example 2: Advanced Network with VLANs and SSIDs

This sample scenario consists of an advanced network with a wireless controller, PoE switch,
layer 3 switch or router, APs, and several VLANs and SSIDs. These are the components in
the wireless controller system:
VLAN 1, through which you connect to the wireless
•
VLAN 100, through which the wireless controller can manage up to 50 APs
•
Figure 11.
The APs and wireless controller are connected in the same subnet and same VLAN and use
the same IP address range that is assigned for that subnet. There are no routers in between
the APs and the wireless controller. The APs are connected to a PoE switch, which, in turn, is
connected to the wireless controller. The uplink of the PoE switch connects to a layer 3 switch
or router that provides Internet access.
Prerequisites
This network configuration has the following prerequisites:
VLANs 1, 10, 20, and 100 are tagged VLANs and are configured on both the wireless
•
controller and the PoE switch.
The wireless controller is connected to the PoE switch through default VLAN 1. You
•
manage the wireless controller from a computer over VLAN 1 through the PoE switch.
The DHCP server on the wireless controller is configured in management VLAN 100 to
•
enable the APs to receive an IP address through VLAN 100.
The PoE switch port to which the wireless controller is connected is configured as a
•
tagged port to allow tagged traffic from VLAN 1 and VLAN 100.
