I have (new setup and new netgear family) three VLANs 10,20 and 30 configured on M4100 switch and I have wc7500 in play and all behind a sonic wall. The three SSIDs wouldn't not work if the thre...

Hi azizrj,
Welcome to the community! :)
Kindly answer the questions below:
a. Are the 3 WAC720 directly connected to the M4100 switch or to the WC7500?
b. If ever the 3 WAC720 are connected directly to the M4100 switch, are the ports where the 3 WAC720 set as tagged ports with a PVID of 1?
c. What is the current firmware of the WC7500 and the M4100 switch?
Kindly read the High-Level Deployment Scenarios from pages 44-51 of the WC7500 user manual here as a guide.

Thank you for replying:
I have three APs on M4100 (PoE)
on M4100
I untagged native vlan 1
I have:
port 3 on M4100 untagged and plugged to WC7400 port1
port 12 to Sonicwall (x4) taggedport 5 for vlan 10 tagged vlan membership port 3 (U) port 5 (T) and port 12 (T)
port 6 for vlan 20 tagged vlan membership port 3 (U) port 5 (T) port 6 (T) and port 12 (T)
port 7 for vlan 30 tagged vlan membership port 3 (U) port 5 (T) port 6 (T) port 7 (T) and port 12 (T)firmware on WC7500 it is maybe one level down. so it goes for the APs. I am running the office on one AP that is running for now
I'll be going in and check the firmwareHi Azizrj,
I would like to help you in setting up your APs. Please do give us some more information.
1. Are VLAN10, VLAN20 and VLAN30 are the VLANs used for 3 SSID's? or management VLANs?
2. If you are using these VLANs only for SSID's , then take the vlan confguration of the port where you have the working AP connected and config same on the ports where two other APS are connected..
If my understanding on your expectation is correct then following vlan configuration on the switch ports where devices are connected should work
Controller---- VLAN 1(UT)
firewall(DHCP server)--All VLANs tagged(10T,20T,30T)
AP1---vlan1(UT), vlan10(T), vlan20(T),vlan30(T)
AP2---vlan1(UT), vlan10(T), vlan20(T),vlan30(T)
AP3---vlan1(UT), vlan10(T), vlan20(T),vlan30(T)
I just want to follow-up on this. Kindly answer the questions of Prashanth_MP.
