Cisco Set Trunk For Watchguard AP

Have a Watchguard AP 325. The Cisco switches are 2960. They are POE.

The Watchguard AP 325 powers and get IP address. The Watchguard Firebox cannot see the AP. What gives?

Well the port that it is on is not set a trunk port. A trunk port is a network port that allows data to flow across a network for multiple VLANs. Perhaps a trunk port is thought of as a “bundle.”

Since the AP is going to have multiple devices connected for traffic, it needs to be set as a trunk port.

Here's how:

enable
show interface status | include trunk
config t
int Gi3/0/34
Description Whatever AP Name Here
switchport mode trunk
switchport access vlan 1
switchport trunk native vlan 300
no switchport voice vlan
switchport trunk allowed vlan 300-306
end

show int Gi3/0/34 switchport
show int Gi3/0/34 trunk

write mem
copy run start

Class dismissed!
