Usage Guidelines Keep these guidelines in mind when using VLAN names:
• The mapping of a VLAN name to a VLAN ID is local to each access point, so across your network,
you can assign the same VLAN name to a different VLAN ID.
Note If clients on your wireless LAN require seamless roaming, Cisco recommends that you assign
the same VLAN name to the same VLAN ID across all access points, or that you use only VLAN
IDs without names.
• Every VLAN configured on your access point must have an ID, but VLAN names are optional.
• VLAN names can contain up to 32 ASCII characters. However, a VLAN name cannot be a number
between 1 and 4095. For example, vlan4095 is a valid VLAN name, but 4095 is not. The access point
reserves the numbers 1 through 4095 for VLAN IDs.
Examples This example shows how to assign a name to a VLAN:
AP(config)# dot11 vlan-name chicago vlan 121
You can view VLAN name and ID pairs by using the show dot11 vlan-name EXEC command.
