Configuring a VLAN for WiFi guests

Merrily Mundane
Level 1
Level 1

I have a Cisco Catalyst 2970 switch with a Firewalla firewall on port 13 and a  Linksys MX4000 V2 running OpenWRT on port 3. 

I would like my Cisco to provide trunks to these to ports for VLANs 1 (default) and 99 (guest). 

If I connect my Linksys directly to my Firewalla, my guest traffic is correctly tagged VLAN99 and all others with VLAN1. But when I go through my Cisco, all traffic remains on the default network. 

What do I need to change in my switch configuration to get the desired behavior?

 

Switch#show int Gi0/3 trunk

Port Mode Encapsulation Status Native vlan
Gi0/3 on 802.1q trunking 1

Port Vlans allowed on trunk
Gi0/3 1-4094

Port Vlans allowed and active in management domain
Gi0/3 1,99

Port Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned
Gi0/3 1,99
Switch#show int trunk

Port Mode Encapsulation Status Native vlan
Gi0/3 on 802.1q trunking 1
Gi0/5 on 802.1q trunking 1
Gi0/13 on 802.1q trunking 1

Port Vlans allowed on trunk
Gi0/3 1-4094
Gi0/5 1-4094
Gi0/13 1-4094

Why ypu not make guest in vlan 99 for both fw and cisco ?

I dont get what you want exactly 

Thanks 

MHM

I have a guest wifi network. My Linksys is configured to put guests on VLAN 99 and all other WiFi clients on the default VLAN 1. 

My firewall is configured to provide clients on VLAN99 a different set of rules and IP addresses from clients on VLAN 1. 

If I connect my Linksys directly to a port on my firewall, this works as expected. If I put the Cisco switch between the firewall and WiFi, then my guest network clients are given the same IP and rules as my default network clients.
