6. Click Next to configure VLAN settings. The VLAN details are displayed.
7. Select any of the following options for CLIENT IP ASSIGNMENT:
l Virtual Controller Assigned—On selecting this option, the client obtains the IP address from the VC. The
VC creates a private subnet and VLAN on the AP for the wireless clients. The NAT 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. For more information on DHCP scopes and
server configuration, see DHCP configuration on page 65.
l Network Assigned—Select this option to obtain the IP address from the network.
8. If the Network Assigned is selected, 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 APs. 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 DHCP server. To create
VLAN assignment rules:
