Chapter 14 Configuring VLANs

Configuring a VLAN

When you configure VLANs on access points, the Native VLAN must be VLAN1. In a single
Note
architecture, client traffic received by the access point is tunneled through an IP-GRE tunnel, which is
established on the access point's Ethernet interface native VLAN. Because of the IP-GRE tunnel, some
users may configure another switch port as VLAN1. This misconfiguration causes errors on the switch
port.
Configuring your access point to support VLANs is a three-step process:
1.
2.
3.
This section describes how to assign SSIDs to VLANs and how to enable a VLAN on the access point
radio and Ethernet ports. For detailed instructions on assigning authentication types to SSIDs, see
Chapter 11, "Configuring Authentication Types."

You can configure up to 16 SSIDs on the access point, so you can support up to 16 VLANs that are
configured on your LAN.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to assign an SSID to a VLAN and enable the
VLAN on the access point radio and Ethernet ports:
