tunneled to local bridged

[Phil_storey]

Hi

the current setup is with 2x rfs7000 with mixture of AP7131 and 7532, theWIFI networks are set to tunnel at present, I would like to test a new setup with one AP/WIFI network to be locally bridged on the AP.

The port of the AP will connect to on the network switch and the port set to be a trunk port, The AP is set to allow 1,4096 vlans so the network switch hold the allows VLAN information.

Will it work ? having just this one AP / wifi network to locally bridged ? or is it an all or nothing setting ?

Hi Tomasz
so the virtual adapter stays ? the reason for allowing all the VLAN;s is that the network switch holds the VLAN allowed list in this case 1,10. But eventually I would like to get the 802.1x setup for laptops etc, so we can change the wifi key when ever we like so when the user is disabled in the AD all access to the network is removed - but that is another project in the future

Hi Phil,

I didn't ever remove vlan1 but if you plan to use just AP local bridging (like L2 switch does) with only Layer 2 MiNT adoption and control, with no direct SSH/Telnet/Web to that AP etc... it might not be needed. Never tried that though.
For ge1 I would recommed to set allowed VLANs just those you need, separated with comma. Makes things more clear and you might sooner spot some issue with VLANs if there was any.

Hope that helps,
Tomasz

Hi Tomasz
Sorry to ask again "you don't need to create VLAN virtual interface (SVI in fact, based on Cisco terminology). It would have to be there if you needed L3 communication for AP on that VLAN (as a RADIUS client for example)."
so the virtual adapter that is already setup is that removed ?

Hi
having read my post back think I may have answered my own question as I have set the VLAN's on the network switch, Thanks for your input, I think I will so this change at the weekend when no users are in the office, Always nervous about these sort of changes. Not saying I'm unlucky but I could be the only person is a raffle and still lose
