VLAN for web interface traffic

kiler129 — Mon, 28 Nov 2022 03:55:58 GMT

I wasn't able to find if this is possible nor any plans if it's not currently. R750 allows me to deliver a trunk for multiple SSIDs configured, I can also configure a management VLAN which is used for communication between multiple R750s. However, the web interface for management seems to still only work with untagged packets. This forces me to deliver a hybrid port.

Is this by design, or is there any way to move the web ui to a separate VLAN?

"Enable VLAN for Management Interface" doesn't work?

I'm sorry I missed your answer. However, this doesn't seem to work as expected. You cannot set the same IP in "System => IP Settings => IP Settings" as in "System => IP Settings => Management Interface". The second one seems to be used for management traffic between APs?

I see a document here: https://docs.commscope.com/bundle/unleashed-200.13-onlinehelp/page/GUID-3165BBFB-9B32-413F-A11F-95FC4AD1D103.html which contains "Access VLAN" field:

My AP, despite running 200.13.6.1.319 doesn't have such field:

---------

In addition, I verified CLI as well. As described in https://docs.commscope.com/bundle/unleashed-200.13-commandref/page/GUID-D8A9CA4D-8126-43A8-9C4B-8D6DAD7093BD.html the "vlan" in "config-sys-if" context should let me see the VLAN, but that command doesn't exist on my AP:

ruckus(config-sys-if)# vlan The command is either unrecognized or incomplete. To view a list of commands that you can run from this context, type '?' or 'help'. ruckus(config-sys-if)# help Commands available: help Shows available commands. history Shows a list of previously run commands. abort Exits the config-syst-if context without saving changes. end Saves changes, and then exits config-syst-if context. exit Saves changes, and then exits config-syst-if context. quit Exits the config-syst-if context without saving changes. ip enable Enables IPv4 Support. ip route gateway <GATEWAY-ADDR> Sets the controller's gateway address. ip name-server <DNS-ADDR> [<DNS-ADDR>] Sets the controller's DNS servers. Use a space ( ) to separate the primary and secondary DNS servers. ip addr <IP-ADDR> <NET-MASK> Sets the controller's IP address and netmask. Use a space ( ) to separate the IP address and netmask. ip mode dhcp Sets the controller's IP address mode to 'DHCP'. ip mode static Sets the controller's IP address mode to 'Static'. show Displays current system interface settings. ruckus(config-sys-if)#

There doesn't seem to be any updates for R650 (my test one, I don't have a R750 not in production) as of today:

Click on the “management interface” tab and you’ll see the ‘enable VLAN’ checkbox.

Are you're talking about this screen:

This isn't it. It will not use DHCP, it uses any-cast and static addressing and it seems to be used for AP-AP communication. It doesn't enable VLAN on the main WAN interface in IP Settings like in docs.

The first tab sets the IP for the master AP, but this management tab is for the management IP which will float across the APs if the master goes down. You don’t want the management IP to be set via DHCP or you wouldn’t know what it is.
