configure a wireless access point with layer 2 and layer 3 switches respectively?

Majid Jalinousi — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 10:28:50 GMT

Hi,

I have a wireless access point, how can i connect it to a layer 2 switch thorough it's layer 3 interface.

what configurations do I need on wireless access point and layer 2 switch?

If I want to connect this access point to a layer 3 port on a layer 3 switch, what configuration do I need on both of them?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,Here is the sample config

Hi,

Here is the sample config for lightweight AP:

interface FastEthernet0/10
switchport access vlan 50
switchport mode access
no shutdown

Autonomous AP:

int Fa 0/10
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 50
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,50

Thanks for your answer,

But I want to connect my AP through it's layer 3 interface to next hop device,

now if next hop device was layer 2 device or layer 3 device, the configuration of connected layer 3 AP wouldn't change?

There are several SSID on AP that I want to config them on different VLANs and through connected link between AP and next hop device pass them. now how can I configure this layer 3 port on AP according to next hop (layer 2 or layer 3 device)?

Hi,I am not sure i understood

Hi,

I am not sure i understood right or not .....

1. now if next hop device was layer 2 device or layer 3 device, the configuration of connected layer 3 AP wouldn't change?

- Yes it wouldn't change

2. Config of layer3 or layer2 is almost same:

For layer 3:

int Fa 0/10

swithcport
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 50
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,50

for Layer2:

int Fa 0/10
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 50
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,50

Thanks again,

I know what you mean, but the port on AP that is connected to next hop device is not a layer 2 port, it's a layer 3 port. In this situation how can I do?
