Is the switch interface configured to be a trunk?

interface FastEthernet0/1

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport mode trunk

no shut

ple_admin · ‎11-29-2007

The switchport is configured as:

interface GigabitEthernet7/48

description Connection to WLC-2100

switchport

switchport access vlan 103

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport trunk allowed vlan 103

switchport mode trunk

no ip address

GigabitEthernet7/48 unassigned YES unset up up

i also got this from debugging the wlc.

you should configure the management interface to untagged "0" and set the switchport to switchport trunk native vlan 103.

I had the same issue with a 2504 controller and Scott's recommendation fixed it.

Great job, Scott.

Cisco should clarify their startup guide to account for this.

When the management interface is part of VLAN x

Make sure that the management interface vlan id is set to 0 (untagged ) If the native vlan on the switch trunk connected to controller is vlan x. If the native vlan is something else make sure to tag the mangement interface vlan with x.

Another interesting thing that might happen with switch having the following command enabled:

SW(config)#dot1q tag native

In that case all trunk native vlan frames will be tagged , so you have to tag the management vlan on the controller as well in that case.

To be able to troubleshoot such connectivity problem, you should get the output of:

show run int

show interface <\\ > switchport

the latter command should be your best friend.

One recommondation, make sure to tag your management / ap-manager interface with vlan id to maintain QoS limiting based on dot1p values for downstream traffic from the wired side.

In the above scenario , If you can provide the output of show interface <\\> switchport

I should tell you why the recommended action solved your issue based on the above explanation, and if you would like I can maitain the tag for you.
