I am currently setting up a new network and wanted to make sure it is being done in the best way as this is my first time working on a NetVanta 1234P and I am having issues with routing

The client I am setting up for is a building with 100 different offices in it, each office would like there own SSID and have there own subnet, IP address scheme being used is 172.16.1-100.0 /24 (3rd octet increments for each client/subnet). The device which will be managing the wireless is a Rukus ZoneDirector 1000, I have already created 100 SSIDs in it as well as VLANs 1001-1100.

The Switch that is being used is a Adtran Netvanta 1234P, I have already created the 100 different vlans (1001-1100) but found a limitation of assigning IP addresses to those VLAN interfaces, seems like I am only able to assign up to 15 IPs to virtual interfaces (please correct me if I am wrong..).

Essentially what i am looking for is routing to work for each SSID which is on its own VLAN, I have set the ports to which the Zonedirector and APs connect to as trunked. As of now, I am unable to hit my WatchGuard IP from any of the trunked ports, is there something I missing here?

  • Are you basically trunking all the of VLANs to the internal interface of the firewall? Or is there some layer-3 routing going on in the switch? – Chris McKeown Sep 11 '14 at 20:50
  • Yes, trunking to internal interface. No L3 routing happening on the switch – nGX Sep 11 '14 at 22:27

    So the router will need a subinterface for each VLAN on that trunk link, tagged for each VLAN. Does it? – Chris McKeown Sep 11 '14 at 23:19
  • Yep, at this point we got everything working. We had to create subinterfaces and all, next challenge is the CPU ulitization is spiking as we add more VLANs and interfaces. – nGX Sep 17 '14 at 19:06

For each VLAN, I needed a default gateway subinterface
