Management IP on Access Point (BVI5)

[Austin.Vaughn]

Hi,

Sorry I'm fairly new to APs. I am trying to setup an AP to have the BVI interface on my management Vlan. In this case 5. Here are the configs i have applied.

interface FastEthernet0.5
 encapsulation dot1Q 5 native
 no ip route-cache
 bridge-group 5
 no bridge-group 5 source-learning
 bridge-group 5 spanning-disabled

interface BVI5
 ip address 192.168.5.228 255.255.255.0
 ip helper-address 192.168.10.5
 no ip route-cache

After this I set my truck on the switch for native vlan to be vlan 5 but i still cannot connect to the AP. What am I missing?

Hi Austin,

Try below configuration.

interface FastEthernet0.5

 encapsulation dot1Q 5 native

 no ip route-cache

 bridge-group 1

 no bridge-group 1 source-learning

 bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled

interface BVI1

 ip address 192.168.5.228 255.255.255.0

 no ip route-cache

Your switch port should be trunk with vlan 5 as native vlan. Also you don't need helper address on BVI interface and helper address should be on the L3 interface .i.e the default gateway interface of the AP.

Hope that helps.
