| Jul 6, 2017 at 17:47 | comment | added | trademark | @RonTrunk We use a program that generates large amounts of broadcast traffic that doesn't need to reach beyond each cart. It's just part of our environment, so we would like to use VLANs to solve the problem. It's not simple but we would like to accomplish that level of segmentation in order to reduce unnecessary traffic across the LAN. | |
| Jul 6, 2017 at 14:20 | comment | added | Ron Trunk | Are you sure you really need VLAN assignment by MAC? It sounds nice, but setting up RADIUS and 802.1x is not a simple thing. Maybe there are easier ways to accomplish what you really need. Do you really need private VLANs? | |
| Jul 5, 2017 at 17:24 | comment | added | Zac67♦ | I guess you've pretty much nailed it: you need 802.1X authentication via RADIUS and assign the VLAN ID on the server. On the 2510 and all APs you need to configure the up/downlinks as VLAN trunks. | |
