Dynamic VLAN Assignment

Assigning a client VLAN based on RADIUS attributes returned after authentication.

Definition

The RADIUS server returns Tunnel-Type = VLAN (13), Tunnel-Medium-Type = 802 (6), and Tunnel-Private-Group-ID = the VLAN ID or name. The WLC or AP must allow AAA override. This lets a single SSID place users into different VLANs.

Example

Faculty and students share one SSID but land in VLANs 10 and 20.

Exam tip

On Cisco 9800, enable AAA override in the policy profile.
