I have a number of 1142N APs around the office that are running our internal wireless network. I want to use the second radion on the APs to provide a guest wireless network as well, but I want that netowrk to be on a separate VLAN so that the traffic does not touch our internal systems. Going through the switches is fine, just no communication with internal resources.
We are using a controller to manage the APs, so they are not standalone; but none of the devices are connected directly to the controller either. I am hoping that there is a way to send 2 vlans through the switch ports that they are connected to either without trunking the port, or enabling the APs to decode the tagged traffic coming through the trunk link.

Hey Adam,
If you want to user only one VLAN on a port or just an access port, you can create a second interface on the controller and map the new WLAN/SSID to that interface. On the AP just deploy the second SSID and u have what u want. The "Guest" SSID on your case will be tunneled through the CAPWAP/LWAPP tunnel and "go" to the network over the controller
If you want to user H-Reap with a breakout on the Switch, u need a trunk port.
just let me know if that helps or we need to speak once again.
regards,
Sebastian
Pls. rate if that helps.
