Native for Vlan for wisim controller

[syed baseeruddin]

Hi

Regarding Native vlan in 6500 series switch for wisim-1 module there is compulsary native vlanxx for Registering for Acess points
like
Sup720(config)# interface range GigabitEthernet3/5-8
Sup720(config-if)# switchport
Sup720(config-if)# switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
Sup720(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
Sup720(config-if)# switchport trunk native vlan 40
Sup720(config-if)# spanning-tree portfast
Sup720(config-if)# channel-group 2 mode on
Sup720(config-if)# no shutdown
Sup720(config-if)# exit

or

with out native vlan if we make mgmt vlan in 6500 series switch for Registering of Acesspoints

interface Vlan35
description mgmt vlan
ip address 192.168.35.x 255.255.255.0

!

Why native vlan xxx is required in wism controller for registration of Acess points

Cisco WiSM controller administrative user credentials, the management, the AP manager, virtual interfaces, the mobility group name, one SSID, a RADIUS server, and other options are configured by the setup script. For the management interface, leave the VLAN untagged because it corresponds to the native VLAN on the switch trunk port. For a Cisco WiSM controller, an untagged VLAN is assigned VLAN number 0, which may not correspond to the VLAN number on the switchport.
