Concept Guide

3. Based on the type client IP assignment mode selected, you can configure the VLANassignment for clients as
described in the following table:
Client IP Assignment Client VLAN Assignment
Virtual Controller
assigned
If Virtual Controller assigned is selected for client IP assignment, the Virtual
Controller creates a private subnet and VLAN on the W-IAP for the wireless clients. The
network address translation for all client traffic that goes out of this interface is
carried out at the source. This setup eliminates the need for complex VLAN and IP
address management for a multi-site wireless network.
On selecting this option, the following client VLAN assignment options are displayed:
l Default: When selected, the default VLANas determined by the Virtual Controller
is assigned for clients.
l Custom: When selected, you can specify a custom VLAN assignment option. You
can select an existing DHCP scope for client IP and VLAN assignment or you can
create a new DHCP scope by selecting New. For more information on DHCP
scopes, see Configuring DHCP Scopes on page 215.
Network assigned
If Network assigned is selected, you can specify any of the following options for the
Client VLAN assignment.
l Default— On selecting this option, the client obtains the IP address in the same
subnet as the W-IAPs. By default, the client VLAN is assigned to the native VLAN on
the wired network.
l Static— On selecting this option, you need to specify a single VLAN, a comma
separated list of VLANS, or a range of VLANs for all clients on this network. Select
this option for configuring VLAN pooling.
l Dynamic— On selecting this option, you can assign the VLANs dynamically from a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. To create VLAN assignment
rules, click New to assign the user to a VLAN. In the New VLAN Assignment Rule
window, enter the following information:
l Attribute— Select an attribute returned by the RADIUS server
during authentication.
l Operator— Select an operator for matching the string.
l String— Enter the string to match
l VLAN— Enter the VLAN to be assigned.

Security Settings for a WLAN SSID Profile on page 104.
In the CLI
To manually assign VLANs for WLAN SSID users:
(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile <name>
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# vlan <vlan-ID>
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
To enforce DHCP-based VLAN assignment:
(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile <name>
