WLANS

carl_townshend · ‎02-18-2007

Hi all, if I have a wlan and I want to have different vlans within this, Do I just create vlans on my switches, and then does the wlan controller have ports I can plug into each of these vlans ? and If I wanted to route between them, would I just enabled ip routing on the switch ?

Create your VLANs on your switch,

Create the same VLANs on your access points/bridges

Connect AP or bridge to switch in dot1q trunking mode - this will pass all VLANs between the two.

Use layer 3 switch to route between VLANs.

SSIDs map to VLANs, VLANs map to whatever security you need per SSID/VLAN.

Hi there, cheers for that, would I have to use a trunk link to my wlan controller also ?
