Is there a protocol on switches that enabled automatic creating and deletion of VLANs based on VLAN packets? We have a campus where we have about 400 VLANs configured on every core and access switch. APs are using VLAN tags to put the wireless users on the proper VLAN according to their radius authentication. This means that every uplink and access port is configured as a trunk port with all 400 VLANs tagged.
We never know which user is going to be roaming to which access point, so we need all enabled.
I would love it where when the AP sends a packet with a defined VLAN tag, then that VLAN would be added to that port as a tagged Vlan. After a certian timeframe of not receiving a packet with that VLAN ID, the vlan would be removed from that port.
GVRP seems to be a solution. Its supported on the switches we use (Brocade / Ruckus ICX), but I am not sure if the Ruckus AP's support this?
