Create VLAN containing Guest Wifi Network

Hi,

I am trying to create a VLAN containing our Guest Wifi network - and only that.

The device with mac 0000.1111.2222 is the access point.

So far I have:

vlan 56

name guest-wifi

Next I want to configure an interface. At the moment, it is configured to Gi1/0/20. What confuses me is that this interface also has two other Mac addresses - one that is very similar (0000.1111.2220) and one that is different with a different IP (and I verified that by running arp -a in cmd). This is why I didn't assign the interface to the VLAN guest-wifi.

I went to the switch closet and saw that Gi1/0/20 was connected to a patch panel, so I don't know exactly what the other device is.

Therefore I tried to assign the VLAN to a new interface that is in "notconnect".

My next step would be to issue show mac address-table static 0000.1111.2222 vlan 56 interface Gi1/0/20. However I'm guessing the interface would still be on notconnect? My question is how to make sure the interface is connected to the internet. Should I assign the interface a static IP address first?
