We name VLANs and then assign them to trunks with 'allowed VLAN'. This seems to work. On occasion, a client on a different VLAN than the DHCP server does not obtain an IP address. So, I tried to create a VLAN interface for a named VLAN and added an i...
Hello,About 18 months ago, we stopped using VTP and switched to assigning 'allowed VLAN' to individual interfaces. Everything has been working well. At that time, the contractor had me turn off VTP on the core switch (default gateway) and leave VTP...
Our environment is a manufacturing floor. Currently our access points are almost 40ft in the air with 2dB antennas. I have read that Cisco recommends a height of 20-25ft with omnidirectional antennas for our environment. We have purchased a set of...

Before the 'improvements' we were informed by a contractor installing an OT network for engineering that our network was creating too much traffic and causing miscommunication on the OT network. So, we hired a company to come in and troubleshoot ou...
