VLAN Configuration

[Sardar1]

Dear All,

i have a question about VLANs configuration.currently i have 4 vlan created for IP TV, IP Phone, IP Camera and Wireless Wifi. now i want to configure more VLAN for Wifi Network only because the Wifi is getting slow sometime so if i seperate all Access points by by VLAN it will reduced broadcoasting and speed will be better. now the question is shuold i configure vlan like already existing vlan or i need to create sub vlan of one main vlan which is created for WIFI APs?

Thank You

@Flavio Miranda Thank You for your response i will try to find out the root cause through Iperf3 and other solution.

What model and type of APs?
Autonomous APs or on controller?
If controller what model of WLC and what version of software?
Have the wireless data rates been optimised (disable lower data rates)?  Leaving the lower data rates enabled can cause high channel utilisation.
How is the channel allocation and AP power settings being managed?
Are you using Band Select (or equivalent feature) to steer clients to 5 GHz rather than 2.4 GHz?

Simply adding new VLANs is very unlikely to resolve your issue.  The problem is far more likely to be wireless, LAN or internet link congestion at peak times so you need to understand what the issue is before taking any further action.

the Access Point are Aerohive Networks wifi and using Autonomous APs there is no Controller.direcetly connected with Access Switches.

Sorry @Sardar1, you might have missed it, but this is a Cisco community where the focus is specifically on Cisco wireless products and although we can help with questions on integrating Cisco products with other vendors' products and networks this really isn't the right place to be asking questions about another vendor's products!

The basic principles we've mentioned above still apply but we really can't advise you any more than that on those products. 

I'd suggest you contact the Aerohive support team or community if they have one.  Just done a quick search and see Aerohive is now part of Extreme Networks and they do also have a community so suggest you try there.

@Rich R Yes dear I know but i have Cisco Core switch installed. what i asked in my first Question is about VLAN i asked shuold i create more vlan for wireless as there is already one vlan created or i need to create sub vlan. 

[AliDoskii · Accepted solution]

You dont have to create any more VLAN just try to separate client traffic with Access points management VLAN.
For example make VLAN 50 just for client traffic and attached to WLAN
and VLAN 10 for Access points management VLAN.

Ok Thank you i beleive it will work.

you welcome 🙂

Hi,
Can you please confirm what channel width you are using ? You can use 80 Mhz channel width for more speed.

[Sardar1]

yes we are already using 80 Mhz. Thank you
