Access Point AeroHive ( Part of Extreme Networks ) AP122 - Multiples VLANs - Multiples SSID - ExtremeCloudIQ
Hello good afternoon community, thank you for your help, collaboration, advice nd tips.
I have the following scenario.
Access Points Airohive AP122, 7 APs, connected to a LAN network let's say flat, a block, ie the entire network in VLAN 1.
All Access Points are managed through the Extreme Cloud IQ portal.
Now we intend to configure multiple VLANs, on multiple SSIDs.
VLAN 1 LAN - Maintain for management and administration of APs 192.168.100.0/24
VLAN100 - SSID - Guest 10.0.100.0/24
VLAN200 - SSID - Corp 10.0.200.0/24
VLAN250 - SSID - CorpVIP 10.0.250.0/24
Now we understand the requirements, we have our Layer 3 Switch with the VLANs created, we have the VLAN 1 Trunk ( Native untagged VLAN ) VLAN 100, VLAN200, VLAN300. On the networking side, everything is covered.
Now the doubt is in the configuration of the Access Points AP122 ( Extreme Portal-IQ )
Doubt/Point 1: Should we indicate that the management of the Access Points will use VLAN 1 ? I mean Management Interface (Mgt0) - Management VLAN Value currently blank and Native VLAN Value currently blank. In this section, as we are going to use VLAN 1, the default vlan for the management of the APs to maintain the current range of the LAN, when making the change to TRUNK of the ports that interconnect with the access points, should we indicate and force VLAN 1 in the Management VLAN/Native VLAN section or is it enough to leave it as it is, as it is VLAN 1 ?
Doubt/Point 2:
To define the different SSIDs, I understand that we must define them and associate each one to its corresponding VLAN. Now the doubt is the following, at the moment the port, the only port of the Access Point AP122, is in UpLink mode, the Wired Intefaces of the Access Point is in Port Type Uplink, we must make some change that type of port ? or with that type of port allows us to process the multiple VLANs that will be added and associated to each VLAN ?
Doubt/Point 3:
In the same point above, in the section of Wired Interfaces, ETH0, Uplink port Type appears Allowed VLANs all, I understand allowing all VLANs, but also appears and blank Native VLAN, without any value, when the change is made we must also place there and force the Native VLAN to VLAN 1 ? i.e. place in that section Native VLAN 1 or just leave it blank ?
Thank you very much for your time, for your collaboration and for your suggestions, tips and advice.
Greetings and have a great day.
