This Article Applies to:
EAP615-Wall v1
Background:
Omada Wall Plate AP such as EAP615-Wall has 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports (1× uplink + 3× downlink), with one downlink port (ETH3) supporting PoE pass-through to provide power for wired device. The Wall AP supports configuring Access VLAN for the 3 downlink ETH ports. With ETH VLAN disabled, all the 3 downlink ports can pass through all tagged Ethernet traffic.
Issue Description/Phenomenon:
Recently we received feedback on the EAP615-Wall that tagging the ETH port may stop other tagged VLANs from passing through. Here are the case details.
Topology & Setup:
Internet --- Router ---(Port1) PoE Switch (Port2) --- EAP615-Wall (ETH1-3, no VLAN) --- 2nd EAP & PCs
VLAN10 (SSID1): 192.168.10.x/24
VLAN20 (SSID2): 192.168.20.x/24
VLAN30 (SSID3): 192.168.30.x/24
Switch Port1/ Port2 are tagged with VLAN10/20/30
EAPs are configured with SSID1(VLAN10), SSID2(VLAN20), SSID3(Dynamic VLAN)
With the above setup, everything works well.
-
Wireless users connected to SSID3(Dynamic VLAN) can obtain IP addresses from the expected VLAN (VLAN10/20/30).
-
All wireless clients connected to the 2nd EAP can obtain the correct IP addresses from SSID1(VLAN10)/ SSID2(VLAN20).
Problem:
After configuring the EAP615-Wall with a VLAN such as ETH1 VLAN30, things stopped working as expected.
-
When the wireless users connect to SSID3(Dynamic VLAN), only the users belonging to VLAN30 can obtain IP addresses.
-
All wireless clients connected to the 2nd EAP will fail to obtain an IP address from SSID1(VLAN10)/ SSID2(VLAN20).
