Changing a Virtual AP Forwarding Mode
When you change the forwarding mode for a Virtual AP actively serving clients, the user table will NOT reflect
accurate client information unless the entries for those users are manually cleared.
The following sections describe the procedure to change the forwarding mode on a Virtual AP serving wired or
wireless clients.
To change the forwarding mode for wired users connected to the wired port on an AP:
1. Disable the port by issuing the CLI command ap wired-port-profile <ap-wired-port-profile> shutdown.
This will disconnect any wired clients using that port.
2. Issue the command aaa user delete {<ipaddr>|all|mac <macaddr>|name <username>|role
<role>} to remove from the user table the wired users associated with AP wired ports using the <ap-wired-
port-profile>.
3. Issue the command ap wired-ap-profile <profile> forward-mode <mode> where <mode> is the new
forwarding mode for the wired port
4. Reenable the port using the command ap wired-port-profile <ap-wired-port-profile> no shutdown.
To change the forwarding mode for wireless users associated with a virtual AP:
1. Issue the command ap-name <group> no virtual-ap <vap-profile> or ap-group <group> no virtual-ap
<vap-profile> to disassociate the AP or group of APs from the virtual AP profile.
2. Issue the command aaa user delete {<ipaddr>|all|mac <macaddr>|name <username>|role <role>}
to remove from the user table the users associated to the virtual-ap specified in the previous step.
3. Issue the command wlan virtual-AP <vap-profile> forward-mode <mode> where <mode> is the new
forwarding mode for the virtual AP.
4. Issue the command ap-name <group> virtual-ap <vap-profile> or ap-group <group> virtual-ap <vap-
profile> to reassociate the AP or group of APs with the virtual AP profile.
