37-05 Switch Configuration For Wireless Networks

This document discusses different configurations for wireless traffic flow using autonomous and lightweight access points (APs). With autonomous APs, the corporate and guest SSIDs are mapped to VLANs 21 and 22, respectively. For lightweight APs, the wireless LAN controller (WLC) communicates with APs via a CAPWAP tunnel using VLANs 10-11 for management and VLANs 21-22 for client traffic. The switch ports connected to the WLC and APs are configured as trunks and access ports to allow traffic from the appropriate VLANs.

Autonomous AP Switch Configuration
SSID: Guest (22)
SSID: Corporate (21)
In this example two WLANs have
been configured on the
Wireless AP
Autonomous AP
The Corporate WLAN is mapped to
VLAN 21
The Guest WLAN is mapped to
VLAN 22
Autonomous AP Switch Configuration

SSID: Guest (22)


SSID: Corporate (21)

Wireless AP

Switch(config)# vlan 21
Switch(config-vlan)# name Corporate
Switch(config)# vlan 22
Switch(config-vlan)# name Guest
Autonomous AP Switch Configuration

SSID: Guest (22)


SSID: Corporate (21)

Wireless AP

Switch(config)# interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1


Switch(config-if)# switchport trunk encap dot1q
Switch(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
Switch(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 21,22

Lightweight AP Switch Configuration

SSID: Guest (22)


SSID: Corporate (21)

Wireless AP

Switch(config)# vlan 21
Switch(config-vlan)# name Corporate
Switch(config)# vlan 22
Switch(config-vlan)# name Guest
Lightweight AP Switch Configuration

SSID: Guest (22) In this example, VLAN 10 is for the


SSID: Corporate (21) administrator to manage the WLC
Wireless AP VLAN 11 is for the WLC to manage
the Access Points
The same VLAN can optionally be
used for both
Switch(config)# vlan 10
Switch(config-vlan)# name WLC-Management
Switch(config)# vlan 11
Switch(config-vlan)# name AP-Management
Lightweight AP Switch Configuration - WLC

SSID: Guest (22) Configure the interface connected


SSID: Corporate (21) to the WLC as a trunk for the
Wireless AP management and WLAN VLANs
Communication between the WLC
and APs is tunneled inside a
CAPWAP tunnel
Switch(config)# interface GigabitEthernet1/0/2
Switch(config-if)# switchport trunk encap dot1q
Switch(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
Switch(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,11,21,22
Lightweight AP Switch Configuration - AP

SSID: Guest (22) Configure the interface connected


SSID: Corporate (21) to the APs as an access port in the
Wireless AP AP management VLAN

Switch(config)# interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1


Switch(config-if)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 11
