H-REAP DOT1X LOCAL SWITCHING

[sagirogluo]

Hi everyone..

I want to use dot1x enabled   wlans with h-reap and local-switching . But if h-reap is enabled, I lost dynamic vlan assignment on dot1x enabled wlan..

I checked  HREAP Feature Matrix Document ID: 112042  but it seems there is no support for dynamic vlan assigment via dot1x when h-reap is enabled on AP.

Is there any way to handle this issue?

Thanks.

Unfortunately there is not due to the nature of local switching. Local switching works by assigning a VLAN tag to the packets coming in on a certain SSID on the AP end before it hits the CAPWAP/LWAPP tunnel. In order to achieve dynamic VLAN support via 802.1x the interface has to exist on the WLC as that is where it is applied, it can't be applied on a HREAP doing local switching.

Thank you for information. Now, at least i know that it is impossible to achieve. Thanks again.
