VLAN Mapping in Virtual Gateway Modes
VLAN Mapping in Virtual Gateway Modes
For Clean Access Servers in Virtual Gateway mode only, the VLAN mapping form appears under Device 
Management > CCA Servers > Manage [CAS_IP] > Advanced > VLAN Mapping
. This forms allows 
you to map an untrusted interface VLAN ID to a trusted network VLAN ID. 
Traffic going through the CAS will be VLAN-retagged according to this VLAN Mapping setting. 
VLAN Mapping for In-Band
When a Clean Access Server operates in Virtual Gateway mode, it passes network traffic from its eth0 
interface to eth1 and from eth1 to eth0 without changing the VLAN tag. 
For In-Band configurations, in order to pass traffic from both interfaces through the same Layer 2 switch 
without creating a loop, it is necessary to place incoming traffic to the Clean Access Server on a different 
VLAN from the outgoing traffic of the Clean Access Server. 
VLAN Mapping for Out-of-Band
In Out-of-Band Virtual Gateway mode, the OOB Cisco Clean Access Server uses VLAN mapping to 
retag an unauthenticated client’s allowed traffic (e.g. DHCP/DNS) from the Auth VLAN to the Access 
VLAN and vice versa. See the Cisco Clean Access Manager Installation and Administration Guide for 
further information. 
Switch Configuration for Out-of-Band Virtual Gateway Mode
Obtain the following VLAN IDs for Cisco Clean Access:
  •
VLAN for the Clean Access Manager (the management VLAN, e.g. 64)
  •
VLAN for the Clean Access Server (must be different from the CAM, a new management VLAN, 
e.g. 222)
  •
VLAN(s) for Access (e.g., 10, 20, 30, 40)
  •
VLAN(s) for Authentication (e.g. 610, 620, 630, 640)
  •
Dummy (unused) VLAN for native VLAN settings (e.g. 999)
Switch configuration on the switch interfaces connecting to eth0 of the CAS:
  •
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
  •
switchport trunk native vlan 999
  •
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20,30,40
Switch configuration on the switch interfaces connecting to eth1 of the CAS
  •
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
  •
switchport trunk native vlan 999
  •
switchport trunk allowed vlan 610,620,630,640
CAS eth0 and eth1 network settings:
 
(Device Management > CCA Servers > Manage [CAS_IP] > Network > IP): 
  •
Set Trusted management VLAN ID (e.g. 222)
