Dear Support,
I have to configure a Wireless Trunk Link between two buildings. I'm using Outdoors AP 1532 with directional Antennas on 5GHz. I want my Wireless Trunk to word exactly like a Wired Trunk between two switches.
In each Building I have a 2960X Switch with 2 VLANs (Data and Voice).
I converted the 1532 APs to Autonomous APs
I configured the VLANs, Radio 1 sub-interfaces and G0 sub-interfaces.
I'm using VLAN 1 as native VLAN in all the network.
I configured only 1 SSID, mapped on VLAN 1 (native VLAN). Is that the right configuration? Or do I have to configure a SSID for each VLAN?
Are the Roles "Root Bridge" for AP01 and "Non-root Bridge" for AP02 alright?
Thank you.
Kind Regards,
Nicolas.

If you want vlan 10 IP to be used as management of these bridges, then YES. Still note that bridge group should be 1 for those sub-interfaces.
Give it a try & let us know any issues.

Hi Nicolas,
Pls find a reference wireless bridge configuration. Initial configuration is the basic one and then I have added EAP-FAST as security method. You can do WPA2/AES with PSK if needed.

AP management should be on native vlan in these configuration.

Hi Rasika,
Thanks for responding. So the first thing I have to change is to configure my VLAN 10 as native as it is used for management of the devices.
After that can I add as much VLANs as desired? The only thing I have to configure is a new VLAN with corresponding Radio sub-interface and Ethernet sub-interface?
Regards,
Nicolas.

Hi Rasika,
Here is my actual configuration:
dot11 vlan-name Data vlan 10
dot11 vlan-name Voice vlan 777

dot11 ssid <my-SSID>
vlan 10
authentication open

encapsulation dot1Q 10 native
bridge-group 1
!
interface GigabitEthernet0.777
encapsulation dot1Q 777
bridge-group 255
bridge-group 255 spanning-disabled
The problem is that interface Dot11Radio1 is in bridge-group 1 by default and cannot be removed. So Interface Dot11Radio1.10 cannot be added in bridge-group 1 because "Configuration of subinterfaces and main interface within the same bridge group is not permitted"...
I'm trying to remove Interface Dot11Radio1 from bridge-group 1 but without success...
Any idea?
Nicolas.

Hi Rasika,
It's OK everything works fine now. It was a Native VLAN configuration mismatch.
I have all my VLANs carried over the Wireless Trunk.
Thank you for helping,
Kind Regards,
Nicolas.
