UTM 125 + AP 55s + VLAN + DHCP server problems

onit12

Hi

UTM 125 and AP55 AccessPoints here.

I would like to put the AP55 Access Points in a seperated VLAN (Layer 2 Switches available). 
But I am already failing one step ahead, did not getting any ip adress of the DHCP Server.


I have created an Ethernet VLAN 2

DHCP Server in this VLAN

 

and a Win10 client plugged into eth3

Interfaces are up:

 

But even if i configure my NIC the static ip range in this VLAN i cannot reach the gateway and there are obviously no packets transmitted. 

Tried this on the UTM 125 Appliance and in my Testlab with the UTM virtual appliance. What am i doing wrong!? 

 

Thanks

Tino

    Hi. Tino, and welcome to the UTM Community!

    What is the reason to not do UTM Wireless the regular way?  What requirements are you trying to meet?

    Cheers - Bob

    Hello Bob,

    thanks for your answer.

    The reason i would like to separate the Access Points is on the one hand because of the availability of Layer 2 Switches and on the other hand because it's not really clear to me how "spereated" the traffic is, if i do it the regular way.

    As regular way I think you mean Wireless configuration as "Seperated Zone"?

    Is this "best practice"?

    Thanks

    In essence, Tino, each AP communicates through a hybrid RED tunnel with the UTM for "Separate Zone" SSIDs.  If one of the SSIDs is bridged to the LAN/VLAN the AP is in, it communicates directly with that subnet instead of sending the traffic through the UTM.  It is also possible to do an after-the-fact bridge with the wlan# virtual NIC that was created when a "Separate Zone" SSID was defined.

    I didn't hear a good reason to vary from using a "Separate Zone" SSID in your description of your situation, and you don't need to worry about how "separated" the traffic will be.  In general, I enable 'Client isolation' in guest networks and enable 'Hide SSID' for extra security in many internal networks.

    Cheers - Bob
