Brocade VLAN Question

[PlenumRated]

Hello, I am redoing my wireless network, I have four Cisco AP's that I am going to swap with Aerohive. I need help adding VLAN's for the new SSID's. I am using a Brocade switch I have three VLAN's:

 

VLAN 100: Internal/Secure

VLAN 110: Primary LAN

VLAN 120: Secondary/Guest LAN

 

Each AP has to have the three VLAN's for the SSID's. Should I make each AP SwitchPort Tagged under each VLAN or Dual-Mode? I don't use the default VLAN 1 those are my SFP ports. 

 

 

*I can use the console as well but I posted a picture for easier reference. 

Thanks, 

 

Matthew

you need to tag the needed VLANs to the ports where they are needed.

 

Just as quick as it sounds

Dual-mode is for having one VLAN as untagged on a port that has other VLANs tagged. Its the equivalent of Cisco’s “switchport trunk native vlan #”. On newer ICS firmware versions, dual-mode is deprecated and they supported untagged on a tagged port that same way HP/Aruba does VLANs.

Hello, I tried to add int 1/1/2 as tagged in VLAN 120 but since it's already tagged in 110, I can't tag it in 120. Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Thank you! I am trying to set the VLAN's now but can only set one port as "tagged" on one VLAN. I know I must be missing something because I have done this before. I think it was with Dual-Mode but I have upgraded to get rid of it.

Try removing 1/1/2 from vlan 110 untagged before doing anything else with it - even if you are trying to convert it to 1/1/2 tagged vlan 110.

i’ve never run into an issue tagging a port with more than one VLAN.

you have to create a trunk port to allow multiple vlans on the same port. the device on that port will need to "tag" traffic to get routed to the correct network

[tech.guru]

for the basics,

      trunk port allows multiple vlans on the same port, need to tag traffic from device

      access port allows a single vlan untagged from device

 

if each vlan will have its own port, use an access port and treat all traffic untagged it will be easiest for you.
