Multiple VLAN and QoS Support for WGB Wired Clients
A WGB is a small standalone unit that can provide a wireless infrastructure connection for Ethernet-enabled
devices. Devices that do not have a wireless client adapter to connect to the wireless network can be connected
to the WGB through the Ethernet port. The WGB associates with the root AP through the wireless interface,
which means that wired clients get access to the wireless network.
This feature provides the segregation of traffic based on VLANs for different applications running on different
devices connected to a switch behind a WGB. Traffic from WGB clients are sent in the right priority queue
in the mesh backhaul based on DSCP/dot1p values.
You need a special autonomous image on the autonomous access points being used as a WGB for
Note
interoperability with the Unified CAPWAP infrastructure. This image will be merged with the next official
autonomous release.
The WGB informs the WLC about the wired-client VLAN information in an IAPP association message. The
WGB removes the 802.1Q header from the packet while sending to the WLC. The WLC sends the packet to
the WGB without the 802.1Q tag and the WGB adds 802.1Q header to packets that go to the wired switch
based on the destination MAC address.
The WLC treats the WGB client as a VLAN client and forwards the packet in the right VLAN interface based
on the source MAC address.
