Help with discriminating wifi AP traffic please
Hi, I am seeking some general direction in the best way to discriminate and segregate wireless AP traffic using a managed switch. I can set up several secure SSIDs on the AP and the AP can be se...
Setting a port to T or Tagged will allow it to pass VLAN tagged frames, setting it to U or Untagged will cause it to strip the VLAN tag and pass the untagged frame, or, to accept an untagged frame and append a VLAN tag to it.
Configure the M4100 to have two VLANs with several ports in each VLAN and disable interVLAN routing.
As an example ...
P1 - VLAN100 - UNTAGGED - connects to router's office subnet
P2 - VLAN100 & 300 - TAGGED - connects to VLAN aware access point #1
P3 - VLAN100 & 300 - TAGGED - connects to VLAN aware access point #2
P4 - VLAN100 - UNTAGGED - connects to office switch.
P5
P6 - VLAN300 - UNTAGGED - connects to router's guest subnet
P7 - VLAN300 - UNTAGGED - connects to access point #3 (the one that is not VLAN aware)

I am assuming the following here ...
a) the router has multiple interfaces and each of the three LAN ports is a separate interface.
b) the router has been configured to act as the DHCP server for each of the LAN subnets.
c) the VLAN aware access points have been configured with office & guest SSIDs and these linked to VLAN 100 & 300 respectively
d) the VLAN aware access points have been configured for either a VLAN trunk or to accept/pass TAGGED packets.
