H-REAP Native VLAN

[Bill19795_2]

In reading the design guides I see that I have to use the Native vlan to send all the CAPWAP traffic for the AP in H-REAP mode. I normally place an unused VLAN as the native vlan to prevent VLAN hopping. How can I do this with the H-REAP AP?

I'm not quite following your concern...

An AP, Local or HREAP mode, is only able to communicate via its Native Vlan.  Whatever you define on the switchport as the native vlan, that is the vlan your AP will technically reside in.   Any other vlans you trunk in will be used for client access if configured (and hreap).

So although I don't think I'm following exactly what you're asking, I think I'm answering it

Bottom line, whatever you define as the "Native Vlan" on the switchport, that is the vlan of your AP.... no way around this as far as I know.

Hi,

Wattery was crystal clear.. Just as simple as it can get!!

On the switchport you are config as a trunk and the trunk will allow all the VLANs... the time we specify the Native VLAN.. the AP will grab the IP from that NATIVE VLAN subnet if its set for DHCP and if the IP on the AP is set static then we need to make sure we are assigning the IP in that Native VLAN subnet.
