Hi, I am testing Meraki Access Point connections with Meraki Switch Port. The basic Connection is: I setup e.g. Vlan 1, Vlan 10, Vlan 11 on Core Switch, the DHCP server for each Vlan is setup on Meraki Firewall, but I setup DHCP relay on the Core-Switch to lead the DHCP request to the firewall. All the connections between Switch are setup as Trunk with Native Vlan1, but on the Port between Switch and AP, I setup Native Vlan to be 1, or 10, or 11. I realize on the Port that connect to AP, if I setup the Port to be Trunk and Native Vlan to 10 for example, the AP and all its WiFi clients will get Vlan 10's IP addresses. If I setup the Native Vlan to be 11 or other Vlan, the AP and clients will get that Native Vlan's IP. I didn't setup tagging on AP or Port, just this basic setting shown in the screenshot. Why APs get Native Vlan's IP address by DHCP? What's the Logic for this? How does the Switch know that AP and its client are belonging to that Vlan (Native Vlan)? Are there any risks of doing this way? I will be very grateful if anyone can help. Thanks. Regards, Marlon
