About AP uplink interface in Extremecloud IQ pilot

[Lala123]

Hello,

I’m configure the nework policy on the Extremecloud. We will confiure two SSIDs maping to differenet VLAN. My question is that what is the AP’s management VLAN?  What is the default native VLAN for the AP230?

Thanks.

Here you can see what the different port types on the AP are used for:

Hello Liza,

if you onboard a new AP the AP will send the traffic untagged to the switch. So it doesn't matter which vlan is on the port to the AP it just has to be untagged.

The native vlan must match the native vlan on your switch but you do not need to use the native vlan and you can change it later if you want.  If you want you can tag all user traffic to different vlans. For the onboarding the native vlan is not necessary.

The management vlan is for CAPWAP, SSH and other management traffic.

Hi StehanH, 

If we configure the switch port as trunk connecting to AP, so when onborarding, we should configure DHCP address pool to VLAN 1 to alloate address to AP, right?  After onbording, can we change the native vlan?  

Do we have to use VLAN 1 address to enroll the new AP?

Thanks.
