Switch configuration for LAPs

[JASON SIMMONS]

A local mode LAP is broadcasting WLANs that use VLAN10, VLAN20, and VLAN30.  The switchport the LAP is connected to is configured in access mode.  Do VLANs 10, 20 & 30, need to be configured on the switch?

No,

You need to configure the WLC port as trunk and allow these vlan to this port.

Example:

WLC:

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1

description Trunk Port to Cisco WLC

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20,30

switchport mode trunk

AP:

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/22

description Access Port Connection to Cisco Lightweight AP

switchport access vlan 10 ------> in which vlan AP getting ip

switchport mode access

no shutdown

I thought so.  I just wanted to run it by you gurus to make sure my thinking was correct.

Just to add, below are some additional best practice config lines for those ports if you are concern about QoS & STP convergence

--- WLC Trunk Port -----

mls qos trust cos

spanning-tree portfast trunk

--- AP access Port -----

mls qos trust dscp
