CISCO Aironet 1140 cannot change the management IP to be on another VLAN (Sub-Interface)

Cisco IOS Software, C1140 Software (C1140-K9W7-M), Version 12.4(21a)JA1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

I'm trying to add a VLAN and move the mgmt IP on that VLAN.
I don't need a Wireless SSID or access to that VLAN.
The vlan is already member of the AP - switch port.
The vlan is already member of the Aggregated Fiber Link that connects the switches to the CORE switch and it's working good.

The procedure i made was successfull on two of the fourteen APs.

Attached is the anonimized actual configuration.
Here are the commands i'm trying to launch:
interface GigabitEthernet0.100
 encapsulation dot1Q 100
 no ip route-cache
 bridge-group 100
 no bridge-group 100 source-learning
 bridge-group 100 spanning-disabled
 ip address 172.17.xxx.183 255.255.255.0
!
ip default-gateway 172.17.xxx.252
interface BVI 1
ip address 172.17.xxx.183 255.255.255.0
exit
interface dot11Radio 0.2
 no ip address
exit

XXXXX HERE COMES THE FUN PART XXXXXXXX

interface gigabitEthernet 0.2
 no ip address
 !

Open in new window


Well, before removing the old IP from the 0.2 sub-if, i'm able to manage the AP FROM THE NEW IP, as well as with the old IP.

After removing that IP, it loses mgmt connectivity forever: i'm no more able to manage it from the old nor the new IP.


Help....

If it works on some and not others I would check for a firmware update from Cisco.

Hi Joel,
all the APs have the very same version.

Noone?

The management IP address should ALWAYS be configured on the BVI1 interface, and is designated by specifying the NATIVE VLAN.  If you want to manage the AP on VLAN 100 you should set that VLAN to be the native VLAN on the AP.

Just a tip to make things easier too; don't configure VLANs and sub-interfaces via the CLI - use the web GUI.  Of course you can make the changes via the CLI but it tends to cause the AP to complain about other configured items.

i have no native vlan 'cause the switch port is in trunk mode.

The actual mgmt IP is NOT on the native VLAN, but on vlan id 2.
I simply want to change this to vlan 100.

Thanks anyway.
