Enter 0 for an untagged VLAN or a non-zero value for a tagged VLAN. Cisco recommends
using tagged VLANs for the AP-manager interface.
The AP-manager interface's IP address must be different from the management interface's
IP address and may or may not be on the same subnet as the management interface. However,
Cisco recommends that both interfaces be on the same subnet for optimum access point
association.
To create ACLs, follow the instructions in
To ensure connectivity and web authentication, the DNS server should always point to the
virtual interface. If a DNS host name is configured for the virtual interface, then the same
DNS host name must be configured on the DNS server(s) used by the client.
The service-port interface uses the controller's factory-set service-port MAC address.
