Double WLAN with no VLAN tagging

  • 1.  Double WLAN with no VLAN tagging

    Hello, my infrastructure looks like attached image shows. I utilize two WLANs on different subnets (192.168.5.0 and 192.168.11.0) with 2 VLANs (5 and 11). However I had to get rid of tagging in my network. Unfortunatelly now I'm not sure how to be able to connect to router through both VLANS with one cable and no tagging. I have both of my ports set as trunk (one connected to all my switches and APs and one connected to main router), like this:


    interface gigabitethernet 0/0/0
    description "GE0/0/0"
    trusted
    trusted vlan 1-4094
    no poe
    switchport mode trunk
    switchport access vlan 5
    switchport trunk native vlan 5
    switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-4094
    lldp transmit
    lldp receive
    !


    If I use VID on my router it works fine but I can't. Any help?

    You could create a VLAN that exists only in the Aruba Controller and have a route on your draytek router that points to the controller's ip address as its next hop.  That way, you don't have to put any physical ports on that VLAN.

    @cjoseph Do you mean setting static route for all 192.168.11.0 network traffic to go for new controller ip (for example 192.168.35.20 from 35 VLAN- that exists only on controller)?​

    Yes.  You would also have to configure a dhcp server within the controller to give those clients ip addresses.

    - Create a VLAN on the controller
    - give the controller an ip address in that VLAN
    - create a dhcp scope on the controller (the default gateway would be ip address of the controller on that VLAN
    - enable the dhcp scope
    - create a WLAN/Virtual AP that puts clients on that VLAN
    - Create a route for that subnet on your router that points to the management ip address of the controller.
