Root Aironet 1310 question

brentsmith20 · ‎09-07-2005

I have a root aironet that has 2 vlans and 2 ssids. I have designated a trunk port that supports both vlans that the root aironet is plugged into. I also have another trunk port that supports both vlans going to my firewall. The only way I can get a client on one of my non root aironets to get to the firewall is by specifying a vlan on the port plugged into the root aironet. Problem is that I can only assign one vlan to the port. The switch i'm using is a module inside a 4006 chassis running CatOS. Thanks in advance for any help.

The key to configuring a access point/bridge to connect to a specific VLAN is by

configuring its SSID to recognize that VLAN. Since VLANs are identified by a VLAN ID, it

follows that if the SSID on a access point/bridge is configured to recognize a specific

VLAN ID, a connection to the VLAN is established.

The access point/bridge supports only one SSID. You should assign the SSID to the native

VLAN.

Configuring your access point/bridge to support VLANs is a five-step process:

1. Create subinterfaces on the radio and Ethernet interfaces.

2. Enable 802.1q encapsulation on the subinterfaces and assign one subinterface as the

native VLAN.

3. Assign a access point/bridge group to each VLAN.

4. (Optional) Enable WEP on the native VLAN.

5. Assign the access point/bridge's SSID to the native VLAN.

In case of your vlan 5 this should be the config:

bridge# configure terminal

bridge(config)# interface dot11radio0.1

bridge(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1q 5 native

bridge(config-subif)# bridge group 1

bridge(config-subif)# exit

bridge(config)# interface fastEthernet0.1

bridge(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1q 5 native

bridge(config-subif)# bridge group 1

bridge(config-subif)# exit

bridge(config)# interface dot11radio0

bridge(config-if)# ssid batman

bridge(config-ssid)# vlan 5

bridge(config-ssid)# infrastructure-ssid

bridge(config-ssid)# end

Now you need to do this for every VLAN you want to support in the wireless link. Check
