FlexConnect SSID on native VLAN

Jason Vanlandingham — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 15:30:32 GMT

Is there any reason a FlexConnect AP can't put a WLAN on the native VLAN of the trunk to the switch?

I have only 2 VLANs to work with at a location, and it wasn't set up with a separate network management VLAN. So now I need to get a second SSID to drop on the same VLAN that's used for network management and the native VLAN of the trunk.

I got an error when trying to set it up directly in the AP's FlexConnect config, but it let me do it in a FlexConnect group config.

One good reason would be that fact that native vlan does not tag packets and for SSID traffic you need to tag it otherwise would be completed separese two SSIDs.

I'm not really following you there. I do have two separate SSIDs, but since there are only 2 VLANs one of the SSIDs has to land on the native VLAN of the AP.
