n Set the IP address for VLAN 1.
n Set the default gateway to the IP address of the interface of the upstream router to which you will
connect the switch.
2. Connect the uplink port on the switch to the switch or router interface.
3. Deploy APs. The APs will use DNS or DHCP to locate the switch.
4. Configure VLANs for the wireless subnetworks on the switch.
5. Configure SSIDs with the VLANs assigned for each wireless subnetwork.
Each wireless client VLAN must be configured on the switch with an IP address. On the uplink switch or router, you
must configure static routes for each client VLAN, with the switch’s VLAN 1 IP address as the next hop.
Deployment Scenario #3: APs on Multiple Different Subnets from Switches
Figure 3 APs on Multiple Different Subnets from Switches
In this deployment scenario, the APs and the switch are on different subnetworks and the APs are on multiple
subnetworks. There are routers between the APs and the switch. The switch is connected to a layer-2 switch or
router through a trunk port that carries traffic for all wireless client VLANs. An upstream router functions as the
default gateway for the wireless users.
