802.1q enabled

[theo67]

Hello to all,

i have a netgear wireless access point, where on the interface of this AP is 802.1q enabled.

How must i configure the port on the catalyst (where the netgear AP is swiched), to be abel to connect on it, over the network?

Thanks for you help!

Hello,

You need to provide more details.
Are you trying to trunk from the Cisco Catalyst switch onto the AP? What are you trying to achieve? Also the hardware model would help to understand the setup better.

If for example, you wanted to setup a trunk on a Cisco Catalyst 3560 switch interface fa0/1, you would have the config as below;
interface fa0/1
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan XX,XY,XYZ
switchport mode trunk
The XX,XY,XYZ being the vlan ids you want to allow over the trunk link. I don't know much about the Netgear AP, whether they support 802.1q, but someone here may be able to clarify that, hopefully.

Hi viconsul,

thanks for you answer.
I have here a Cisco Catalyst 4500 Version 12.2 and a "Netgear WG 302 ProSafe Wireless Access Point".

I swiched the NG Router on the Catalyst on a port which is configured like this:
-------
Name: Fa2/20
Switchport: Enabled
Administrative Mode: trunk
Operational Mode: trunk
Administrative Trunking Encapsulation: dot1q
Operational Trunking Encapsulation: dot1q
Negotiation of Trunking: On
Access Mode VLAN: 1 (default)
Trunking Native Mode VLAN: 1 (default)
Administrative Native VLAN tagging: enabled
Voice VLAN: none
Administrative private-vlan host-association: none
Administrative private-vlan mapping: none
Administrative private-vlan trunk native VLAN: none
Administrative private-vlan trunk Native VLAN tagging: enabled
Administrative private-vlan trunk encapsulation: dot1q
Administrative private-vlan trunk normal VLANs: none
Administrative private-vlan trunk associations: none
Administrative private-vlan trunk mappings: none
Operational private-vlan: none
Trunking VLANs Enabled: ALL
Pruning VLANs Enabled: 2-1001
Capture Mode Disabled
Capture VLANs Allowed: ALL

Unknown unicast blocked: disabled
Unknown multicast blocked: disabled
Appliance trust: none
-------

I login on the Catalyst, try to ping the router --> no success
show ip arp | include <NG ip> --> no results

If i switch the NG router direct on my Workstation, and configure my NIC to be on VLAN1 then i can access the NG router.

But if i swich the NG router on the Catalyst, it's not reachable anymore.....

I'll be glad if someone has any ideas.
Thanks

Hello,

If you don't have or need multiple vlans on the Netgear AP, then you could just configure your catalyst switch port as an access port, instead of a trunk port. This is the simplest way to do it.
