Management and Configuration Guide Wireless Edge Services xl Module Supplement 2007-06

5300xl Switch Support for the Wireless Edge Services xl Module
configuration is not recommended. If there is a high volume of broadcast
traffic on the DEFAULT_VLAN, the performance of the wireless network may
be degraded.
When configuring radio port VLANs manually, it is recommended that:
■ you first disable LLDP auto-provisioning (no lldp auto-provision radio-
ports) to ensure that radio ports are not automatically assigned to an
incorrect VLAN.
■ you configure the Module’s uplink and downlink ports as tagged
members of separate VLANs.
Note Any non-radio port traffic received on the Module’s downlink port is dropped.
When manually configuring Module and radio port communication paths, you
must
■ specify a radio port VLAN using normal 5300xl VLAN commands, and
add the downlink port (tagged member) and downlink radio ports,
including infrastructure switches, to it.
■ add the uplink port as a tagged member to any VLAN needed for
communication to the wired network.
■ disable LLDP auto-provisioning and 802.1X RADIUS-assigned radio
port VLANs.
If you wish to specify the Auto-VLAN and not use the first available VLAN
starting from vlan-base (default VLAN 2100), but allow ports to be auto-
provisioned, do the following:
■ use the lldp auto-provision radio-ports auto-vlan <vid> command to
designate the desired Auto-VLAN.
■ use LLDP auto-provisioning or 802.1X RADIUS-assigned radio port
VLANs for automatic downlink radio ports and Module uplink and
downlink port set up.
