Management Interface on 4402 does not pass traffic when untagged

[sringer]

According to the documentation, the management interface should be left untagged (0) when connecting over an 802.1q trunk configured for native vlan 1. When I do this, the management interface does not show up on the network. If I leave the switch side in the native vlan 1, but assign the vlan tag to my Management Interface, it works fine. What is wrong with this?

Thanks.

Is the mangement vlan configured as vlan 1. Only then could it be untagged.

management vlan is 242 on the controller's management interface.

On the catalyst that port 1 from the WLC connects to is native vlan 1 (untagged).

I expected to configure the wlc management vlan as 0 (untagged), but that would not pass traffic.

The 'native' VLAN is the *ONLY* VLAN that is untagged. This cannot be changed on the Airespace controller, so only VLAN 1 is untagged on the controller. You would need to configure your management VLAN as VLAN 1 or try changing the native VLAN to VLAN 242 on the switch side. You may get CDP neighbor dot1q native VLAN mismatch errors on the newer controller code so you may need to disable CDP on the switch port and controller LAG interface to avoid getting the (continuous) messages.

Here is a simple config for you to try. Just as long as you have a native vlan.

Sorry that is with LAG enabled.
