Configuring a MAP to perform local switching consists of the following 
tasks:

„

Configuring a VLAN profile for the MAP, which specifies the VLANs 
that are 

to be locally switched

„

Enabling local switching on the MAP

„

Applying the VLAN profile to the MAP

In addition, the VLAN profile can be cleared from the MAP, or removed 
from the WX switch.

A VLAN profile consists of a list of VLANs and tags. When a VLAN profile 
is applied to a MAP, traffic for the VLANs specified in the VLAN profile is 
locally switched by the MAP instead of being tunneled back to a WX 
switch.

To add VLANs to a VLAN profile, use the following command:

set vlan-profile profile-name vlan vlan-name [tag tag-value]

You enter a separate set vlan-profile command for each VLAN you 
want to add to the VLAN profile. A VLAN profile can contain up to 128 
entries. When the optional tag-value is set, it is used as the 802.1Q tag 
for the VLAN.

To add an entry for VLAN red to VLAN profile locals, type the following 
command:

WX# set vlan-profile locals vlan red
success: change accepted.

To enable local switching for a specified MAP, use the following 
command:

set ap apnumber local-switching mode {enable | disable}

Local switching can be enabled on MAPs that are connected to the WX 
switch via 

an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. Local switching 

is not supported for MAPs that are directly connected to a WX.
