You can configure one or more physical ports on the switch to be members of a VLAN. Additionally, each
wireless client association constitutes a connection to a virtual port on the switch, with membership in a
specified VLAN. You can place all authenticated wireless users into a single VLAN or into different VLANs,
depending upon your network. VLANs can remain inside the switch, or they can extend outside the switch
through 802.1q VLAN tagging.
You can optionally configure an IP address and netmask for a VLAN on the switch. The IP address is up when at
least one physical port in the VLAN is up. The VLAN IP address can be used as a gateway by external devices;
packets directed to a VLAN IP address that are not destined for the switch are forwarded according to the
switch’s IP routing table.
Creating and Updating VLANs
You can create and update a single VLAN or bulk VLANs.
In the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Network > VLANs page.
2. Click Add a VLAN to create a new VLAN. (To edit an existing VLAN, click Edit for the VLAN entry.) See
Creating Bulk VLANs In the WebUI on page 106 to create a range of VLANs.
3. In the VLAN ID field, enter a valid VLAN ID. (Valid values are from 1 to 4094, inclusive).
4. To add physical ports to the VLAN, select Port. To associate the VLAN with specific port-channels, select
Port-Channel.
5. (Optional) Click the Wired AAA Profile drop-down list to assign an AAA profile to a VLAN. This wired AAA
profile enables role-based access for wired clients connected to an untrusted VLAN or port on the switch.
Note that this profile will only take effect if the VLAN or port on the switch is untrusted. If you do not assign
a wired AAA profile to the VLAN, the global wired AAA profile applies to traffic from untrusted wired ports.
6. If you selected Port in step 4, select the ports you want to associate with the VLAN from the Port
Selection window.
or
If you selected Port-Channel in step 4, click the Port-Channel ID drop-down list, select the specific
channel number you want to associate with the VLAN, then select the ports from the Port Selection
window.
7. Click Apply.
In the CLI
Use the following commands:
(host)(config) #vlan <id>
(host)(config) #interface fastethernet|gigabitethernet <slot>/<module>/<port>
(host)(config-if) #switchport access vlan <id>
Creating Bulk VLANs In the WebUI
1. To add multiple VLANs at one time, click Add Bulk VLANs.
2. In the VLAN Range pop-up window, enter a range of VLANs you want to create at once. For example, to
add VLAN IDs numbered 200-300 and 302-350, enter 200-300, 302-350.
3. Click OK.
4. To add physical ports to a VLAN, click Edit next to the VLAN you want to configure and click the port in the
Port Selection section.
5. Click Apply.
