Wi-Fi MUX Configuration
An Alcatel switch operating as a Wi-Fi MUX does not perform full Wi-Fi
switching functions. Instead, it accepts traffic from ports designated as MUX
ports, packages this traffic inside a GRE tunnel, and forwards the traffic back
to a central Alcatel switch for processing.
An Alcatel switch licensed and configured for Wireless LAN switching is
automatically configured to accept GRE tunnels from MUX switches.
However, it must be configured to know which VLANs traffic from the MUX
will contain. When terminating tunnels from MUX switches, this Alcatel
switch is known as the MUX Server.
On the Wi-Fi MUX switch, the first step in enabling MUX operation is to
configure VLANs that will be transported to the MUX server. These VLANs can
either be local port-based VLANs used for segmentation, or tagged VLANs
originating from 3
rd
-party APs attached to the MUX switch. Create new
VLANs by navigating to Configuration > Switch > VLAN. Click Add to add a new
VLAN. Configure a VLAN ID and assign ports as shown in the figure below. An
IP address may be configured for the VLAN if desired, but it is not required.
