4.4.4.3 Configuring VLANs

A WLAN to VLAN association is created in a Ethernet port policy. The Ethernet ports on the wireless switch to
are configured to support one or more of the available VLANs for WLAN to VLAN association. See
Ethernet Port Policy on page 4-37
Note The recommended Ethernet port configuration in the wireless switch has
Ethernet ports (1) and (2) on different subnets with Ethernet port (1) supporting the
WLAN infrastructure (access ports and associated MUs). Always map the primary
VLAN ID to Ethernet port (2) in this configuration.
