PowerConnect 2848 , vlan configuration with AP
- by Francesco
I need to configure two vlan on an AP connected with a Dell PowerConnect 2848.
The first one is up and running (let's say vlan x) , the second one is a completely different network (vlan y) , provided by a Gateway-DHCP wich i have no access, directely Patched (via patch panel) at a secondo AP device.
So i cannot just plug this Gateway device on my switch without tagging traffic before, for DHCP collion .
I have to solve this problem.
I was thinking about tagging the traffic at the port wich I will connect the gateway device with vlan y and then set as trunk (vlanx+y) the AP port. In this way I hope to limit the vlan y traffic ONLY for the ports I selected avoiding the spread of unwanted dhcp calls.
But all other ports are Unassigned , so I am not sure they won't forward dhcp (vlan y) traffic.
I cannot change the Unassigned state for the vlan x ports cause vlanx is native.
