I have posted this under the legacy board as well - sorry i was not sure the best board to post on... thanks ...

Hi i am setting up a simple v lan and i am unsure weather the ports for the v lan should be tagged or not.

I have created VLAN2  which ports 1-5 are assigned to. 

in ports 1 - 5 i will be patching in up to 5 wifi access points. 

these access points support multiple SSID so i was planning on creating one SSID for mobiles and tablets and another SSID for laptops and wireless desktops.

SSID 1 ( mobiles ) = VLAN2

SSID 2 ( Laptops ) = VLAN 1 ( default v lan)

as the switch ports will have traffic from both VLANS do they need to be tagged under both the default vLan and Vlan 2

thanks

In this case you should tag port 1-5 with VLAN 2, vlan 1 will be untagged because this is the default VLAN for the laptops

All management traffic will run on VLAN 1 i guess

vlan 2

port 1-5 tagged

Don't forget the uplink to your router

You have to tag or untag the uplink to ur firewall/router also

Tagged vlans - generally used for ports that are connected to other switches = cisco trunk

Untagged vlans -                                                                                                                          = cisco access

Tagged vlan     = we tagged more than one vlan in the trunk port?

Untagged vlan = we just configured the switchport as access port?

**Tagged: Allows the port to join multiple VLANs

**Untagged: Allows VLAN connection to a device that is configured for an untagged VLAN instead of a tagged VLAN. A port can be an untagged member of only one port-based VLAN.  A port can also be an untagged member of only one protocol-based VLAN for any given protocol type.  For example, if the switch is configured with the default VLAN plus three protocol-based VLANs that include IPX, then port 1 can be an untagged member of the default VLAN and one of the protocol-based VLANS.           

REMEMBER! Uplink between switches must be both tagged on same VLANs.

i hope this gives you an idea of tagged and untagged :)

Hi

yes thank you.

effectly the wireless access point is a switch which will have devices connected to it for both vlans. so therefore the port that the access point patches into has to be a tagged. am i right in thinking i tag this port on both Vlan 1 and Vlan 2.
