Figure 106. Sample VLAN configuration
You must ensure that switch ports are configured properly to pass the VLAN traffic
necessary for ZoneDirector, AP and client communications. In the sample VLAN
scenario above, the switch ports would need to be configured as follows:
• Corp VLAN: 20
• Guest VLAN: 30
• Management VLAN: (optional)
Some common VLAN scenarios include:
• WLANs assigned to specific VLANs; ZD and APs with no management VLAN
• WLANs assigned to specific VLANs; ZD and APs within their own single
management VLAN
• WLANs assigned to specific VLANs; ZD and APs are configured for management
VLAN, but are different VLANs and there is an L3 connection between (typical
branch/remote office deployments)
• WLANs assigned to specific VLANs; ZD or APs only (not both) configured with
management VLAN (again typically with a L3 connection between ZD and APs)
The following factors need to be taken into consideration:
• Default/Native VLAN configuration
• Where the DHCP/DNS servers sit in the architecture
• If tunneling is used for WLANs
