Cisco ?

I need to learn how to use VLAN's with my Cisco 1242 wireless AP.

My switch is a Cisco 2950.

So far my wireless station will connect to the IAS server but no further. I
think I need some help with my switch and maybe my AP configuration. My
network is a Win2003 with Vista Business and Win XP.

Is this the place to ask this question which is more about Cisco than MS? Or
should I go somewhere else?

This is Cisco question. Basically, you should configure Cisco switch to
manage the VLAN. This how to may help.

This is not a "usual" VLAN question so let me explain.

I have a Win2003 domain connected thru a 2950 switch.
Attached to the switch is a Cisco AP.
When I started the only VLAN was the usual native VLAN 1

I have two different types of wireless stations. One older type can only use
WEP and the other for more sensitive traffic uses WPA. I want the traffic
for these separated. I plan to use VLAN 10 for the WPA stations and VLAN 20
for the WEP stations. I don't want the vlan configuration to effect the
traffic on my domain network.

I set up an OU for the WPA stations with group policy using WPA and PEAP. It
worked fine with no VLAN's configured. I then configured the wireless SSID
for the WPA stations to use VLAN 10. I also configured the port to the AP to
use "trunk" routing. With this configuration the wireless station will
connect with the IAS server and is allowed access to the network. Problem:
there is no access beyond the IAS server.

I configured other ports also as "trunk" but it did not help. There probably
something I am missing on the 2950 switch and maybe someone in this group
has had a similar expereince that knows the anwer.

I will also check the reference you sent. Thanks

I need to answer my own question.

1. To be able to pass traffic between VLAN's I need a router or a switch
with level 3 capability.
2. Most AP's including Cisco will not handle different types of encryption
on different VLAN"s. You can have different VLAN's but they all must use the
same kind of encryption.

Back to the drawing board.
