Need help configuring a vlan(s) with my wireless access point on 3550 EMI switch

[stevehk]

I have an engenius ECB9500 wireless access point plugged in to a Cisco 3550 switch.  My PC is wireless.  I'm not sure if it is possible, but I need to configure a dhcp server on the 3550 so I can be on the new vlan wirelessly with a dhcp address given to me by the 3550 switch.  I only have two vlans, and the 2nd vlan has a 10.0.0.254 IP assigned to it's interface.  I want to enable DHCP of the 10.0.0.0 network, and then be able to get to the web via vlan 1 which is on a 192.168.0.0 network.  Layer 3 routing is enabled.  I'm not sure how to do this.

I hope someone can help me with this issue.

Thanks.

Hello Steve,

I think you could assign the SSID (to which the PC connects) to the VLAN 2. And then, create a trunk between the switch and the AP.

interface FastEthernetX/Y
  switchport mode trunk
  switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

Another option, if your AP doesn't support VLAN and trunk configuration, would be configure the switch port connected to the AP as a VLAN 2 access port:

interface FastEthernetX/Y
  switchport mode access
  switchport access vlan 2

Then, the switch would have to be configured as a DHCP server:

ip dhcp excluded-address 10.0.0.254
ip dhcp pool WIFI
  network 10.0.0.0/24
  default-router 10.0.0.254
  dns-server ...
  ...

Best Regards,

César.
