Hi All, 

 

I hope this email finds you well.

I am writing to request your assistance with configuring multiple VLANs on our network. Below are the details of the configuration we need:

  1. VLAN Configuration on Firewall LAN Port:

    • We need to configure two VLANs on the LAN port of our firewall, each with a different IP address.
  2. DHCP Configuration:

    • Enable DHCP for both VLANs to ensure proper IP address allocation.
  3. L2 Switch Configuration:

    • We have an L2 switch that needs to be configured under the firewall LAN.

Could you please provide guidance or support on how to proceed with these configurations? Any documentation or step-by-step instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi AEK,

 

Thanks for your inputs, and I Cisco 2960 (L2) switch and Ruckus access points.

So, i want connect the cisco 2960 switch under firewall lan port (VLAN based), 

Means switch port uplink will be trunk and other port which is connected to access point that is also trunk. 

under access points, i will create two SSIDd and each SSID will assign separate vlan.

please let me know, will it fine?
