WLC 2500 new interface DHCP configuration and switch trunk port config

James Simpson
Level 1
Level 1

Hi All

 

I have been working on existing WLC 2500 with a single individual interface with a handful wlan Ids.

The interface is the management 192.168.120.0/25 192.168.121.10 the management interface

I wanted to create an additional ID that would be dishing out a different DHCP scope vlan 121

192.168.121.0/25 GW 192.168.121.1    

ive managed to create this interface and create a new ssid to associate with it

 

when I connect to the SSID I get the correct DHCP range from 192.168.121.x

The switchport that was originally connected to the LAN controller was an access port vlan 120

 

However now ive got a 2nd interface it needs to be a trunk 

 

switchport mode trunk 

switchport trunk allowed vlan 120,121

switchport trunk native vlan 120 (not sure if this is necessary)

 

Now I beileve I need to do something on the interfaces 

 

the management (120 default) is marked as untagged 

the new vlan is marked as 121 

 

Does the existing vlan 120 now need to be taken out of untagged and marked as vlan 120 ?

also is that not the only existing config I need to do on the controller ?

 

Many thanks

Current management interfaces is configured with vlan 0 (ie "untagged" on wlc side) then you have to make sure "sw trunk native vlan 120" is configured when you convert switchport to trunk mode.

 

If you tagged management interface to vlan 120, then you remove "sw tr native vlan 120" from switchport config.

Thanks for your response


I did do this and the ssids disappeared and the WLC came offline. Is there something else additionally that needs to be done. Does the WLC or Aps need to be power cycled 

No need to power cycle AP or WLC.

 

Do you have access to WLC console. Then post " show interface detail management" output and from the switch "show run interface gx/x" where Gx/x is the interface connect to WLC

Please see also the trunk config 

 

 


interface GigabitEthernet1/0/11
description Wifi Controller
switchport trunk native vlan 120
switchport trunk allowed vlan 120,121

 

 

Many thanks 

Best way to do it,  tag management vlan to 120 & remove "sw tr na vl 120" under switch port.

 

(WLC) config interface vlan management 120

 

Once you do that, you should be able to access WLC

 

Pls test

Sorted 

 

One should remember to tell a port that it is a trunk

 

switchport mode trunk :)

 

Thank you for your help
