MR36 Showing as Client on VLAN 0

[CameronS]

We have a Meraki MR36 that is showing as a connected client in our dhasboard. However, it is showing as being on an untagged VLAN (VLAN 0) under the client information.

This AP is connected to a MS225-24P on a trunk with native VLAN 10 with client VLANs allowed.

Is there a reason why it is showing on the client list at this VLAN?

hi @CameronS , what VLAN have you assigned as the mgmt VLAN in your dashboard? 

[CameronS]

It is using VLAN 10 for management traffic

[DarrenOC]

I wasn't expecting that response 🙂  I anticipated it being a different VLAN number.

Is this a newly deployed AP at which point i would state the 'error' will clear over time.

[CameronS]

Its a historic VLAN ID so hey ho!

The AP was installed 8/22 so fairly stable in theory.

I presume the Client IP assignment is set to bridge, but in this case, the native VLAN has no tagging. i.e. if you check the AP configuration on the status page and edit the IP address you will see that the VLAN must be set to zero or null.

[CameronS]

The address is set to receive from DHCP

[alemabrahao]

Ok, but by default the AP interface is untagged (VLAN 0).

[Ryan_Miles]

AP03? If yes, it's because you have the mgmt IP tagged for VLAN 10. Delete that.

[CameronS]

That was added today, its been null until today...

[alemabrahao]

In this case you need to tag VLAN 10 on switch port configuration (that AP is connected)In this case, you need to tag VLAN 10 on switch port configuration (where AP is connected).

[CameronS]

Switchport is already tagged on VLAN 10

[alemabrahao]

So, tag VLAN 10 on your SSID, and it will be ok.

[CameronS]

will this tag client traffic or just management traffic?

[Ryan_Miles]

This thread is going off course here. The SSID tagging has nothing to do with the AP mgmt IP nor the VLAN 0 you see on the client summary page.

[alemabrahao]

In my understanding, if you are using bridged mode without VLAN tagging (using native vlan) it is normal to show the client as VLAN 0, so that the "correct" VLAN is shown on the client, it is necessary to configure the AP tag in the SSID with the target VLAN marking (in your case to 10).
Are you saying that my understanding is incorrect @Ryan_Miles ?

[Ryan_Miles]

The issue being reported here is the AP shows as a client on the summary page and the VLAN column shows 0 instead of 10 like most of their other APs. Their SSIDs are tagged with other VLANs. The two issues are unrelated.

[alemabrahao]

My dear, you need to configure the AP tag with the target VLAN. Do you come to tell me that it has no relation?

[CameronS]

And this won't affect client traffic?

[alemabrahao]

You can test it configuring a new SSID for a test.

What VLAN are you using as Management VLAN in Switch Settings? I cant remember if it also affects the Management for APs.

[CameronS]

Switch management VLAN is 10
