l If Client IP Assignment is set to Network Assigned, specify a value for Native VLAN. A VLAN
that does not have a VLAN ID tag in the frames is referred to as Native VLAN. You can specify a value
within the range of 1–4093.
d. If the Access mode is selected:
l If Client IP Assignment is set to Virtual Controller Assigned, proceed to step 2.
l If Client IP Assignment is set to Network Assigned, specify a value for Access VLAN to indicate
the VLAN carried by the port in the Access mode.
2. Click Next. The Security tab details are displayed.
3. Configure security settings for the wired profile. For more information, see Configuring Security Settings for
a Wired Profile on page 106.
In the CLI
To configure VLAN settings for a wired profile:
(Instant AP)(config)# wired-port-profile <name>
(Instant AP)(wired ap profile <name>)# switchport-mode {trunk|access}
(Instant AP)(wired ap profile <name>)# allowed-vlan <vlan>
(Instant AP)(wired ap profile <name>)# native-vlan {<guest|1…4095>}
(Instant AP)(wired ap profile <name>)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
To configure a new VLAN assignment rule:
(Instant AP)(config)# wired-port-profile <name>
(Instant AP)(wired ap profile <name>)# set-vlan <attribute>{equals|not-equals|starts-with|
ends-with|contains| matches-regular-expression} <operator> <VLAN-ID>|value-of}
(Instant AP)(wired ap profile <name>)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
Configuring Security Settings for a Wired Profile
If you are creating a new wired profile, complete the Wired Settings and VLAN procedures before specifying the
security settings. For more information, see Configuring Wired Settings on page 104 and Configuring VLAN
Settings for a WLAN SSID Profile on page 83.
Configuring Security Settings for a Wired Employee Network
You can configure security parameters for the Employee network by using the Instant UI or the CLI.
In the Instant UI
To configure security parameters for the Employee network:
1. Configure the following parameters in the Security tab.
l Port type—To support trusted ports in a W-IAP, select Trusted. When the Port type is trusted, MAC and
802.1X authentication parameters cannot be configured. The Port Type is Untrusted by default.
In a trusted mode, W-IAPs will not create any user entry. A predefined ACL is applied to the trusted port in
order to control the client traffic that needs to be source NATed.
l MAC authentication—To enable MAC authentication, select Enabled. The MACauthentication is
disabled by default.
l 802.1X authentication—To enable 802.1X authentication, select Enabled. The 802.1X authentication
is disabled by default.
l MAC authentication fail-thru—To enable authentication fail-thru, select Enabled. When this feature
is enabled, 802.1X authentication is attempted when MAC authentication fails. The MAC
