Configuring VLANs

Chapter 15

In this scenario, a minimum of three VLAN connections are required, one for
each level of access. Because the access point can handle up to 16 SSIDs, you can
use the basic design shown in this table.

Managers configure their wireless client adapters to use SSID boss, faculty
members configure their clients to use SSID teach, and students configure their
wireless client adapters to use SSID learn. When these clients associate to the
access point, they automatically belong to the correct VLAN.

Complete these steps to support the VLANs in this example:

1. Configure or confirm the configuration of these VLANs on one of the

switches on your LAN.

2. On the access point, assign an SSID to each VLAN.
3. Assign authentication types to each SSID.
4. Configure VLAN 1, the Management VLAN, on both the fastEthernet

and dot11radio interfaces on the access point. Make this VLAN the native
VLAN.

5. Configure VLANs 2 and 3 on both the fastEthernet and dot11radio

interfaces on the access point.

6. Configure the client devices.
