Connect WLC 2504 to SF500 series switch

rplenter
Level 1
Level 1

At one of our location we have Cisco SF500 switches. Recently we installed a primary and a backup WLC 2504 and some 2702 AP's. The back-up WLC is connected to a Cisco 2960x and works fine (This is also our default setup for all locations) But the primary must be connected to the SF500. All switches are configured to use vlan99 as native vlan.

The WLC should connect to the switch with a LAG and 802.1q. As I read somewhere the WLC use vlan0 as native vlan, correct? This can't be changed?

I also tried to change the native vlan on the trunk to the wlc on th sf500 switch but the WLC does not "come up" . I preconfigured WLC on a "normal" cisco switch (3750). Etherchannel/LAG is comming up but ip address not reachable

Info

yes, use management vlan tag = 0 on 2500 side. On the switch side set native vlan to X but not 0 ie., untagged with 99, it should work then.

Below commands may be helpful to check the status:

show port

show arp switch

check the status of 2500 connected uplink switch port.

the management interface is nog configured with vlan 105 (same as data vlan. We do not use a seperate management vlan for our devices).

Tagging it with vlan 0 will then also not work, correct?

correction these are Cisco SGE2000-24 switches not SF500
