How to change cnMaestro Management VLAN from VLAN 1 to a Custom VLAN?

[Md_Anwar_Hossain]

Hello Experts,

I am trying to configure Cambium Access Points using cnMaestro, but I am facing an issue related to the management VLAN configuration.

Network Design

• AP Ethernet Port: Trunk

• Native VLAN: 110 (Tagged)

• Allowed VLANs: 1, 110, 116, 973

• Management IP: Should come from VLAN 110

• IP Mode: Static (no DHCP in the network)

Configuration Done

1. In AP Group → Network Settings

   • Ethernet Port 1: Trunk Multiple VLANs

   • Native VLAN: 110

   • Allowed VLAN IDs: 1,110,116,973

2. In AP Configuration → Advanced Settings

   • Selected cnMaestro VLAN (VLAN 1)

   • Enabled IPv4 Override

   • Set Static IP (from VLAN 110)

   • 

Problem

The issue is that cnMaestro management VLAN is fixed at VLAN 1, and I cannot change it to VLAN 110. Because of this, the AP is not applying the correct management VLAN and static IP configuration.

Question

Is there a way to change the cnMaestro management VLAN from VLAN 1 to a custom VLAN (e.g., VLAN 110)?

Also, what is the recommended method to deploy multiple APs with static management IPs on a non-default VLAN when DHCP is not available?

Any guidance or best practices would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

cnMaestro gives no native means of disabling the hardcoded fallback IP, and additionally hides the ability to remove VLAN1.

Another forum user Zac Todd provides an (unsupported) means of deleting the hidden vlan1 configuration via cnMaestro.

Its pretty straight forward configuration.
Is VLAN 110 a tagged or untagged management network? From the configuration, I see its tagged. Please confirm.

If so, add VLAN 110 interface and edit the following:

• Enable zeroconf and request-option-all.

Thank you.

Did you find an answer to this, I am struggling with the exact same setup.

[Md_Anwar_Hossain]

Yes, it is solved, I did this configuration-

1. Navigate to AP Group >> Network >> Ethernet Ports >> Ethernet Port 1 >> Set the Port to Trunk. Then configure Native VLAN 110. Set allowed VLAN IDs with all the necessary VLANs allowed including the Native VLAN. If the Native VLAN needs to be tagged, please check the Tagged option which will Tag the Native VLAN. Please ensure the switchport on the AP’s uplink has the identical config, else the switch will drop the traffic.

2. Under VLAN Interfaces >> Click Add New >> Configure the Native VLAN ID 110

3. Edit the VLAN 1 under VLAN interfaces >> Uncheck the “Request Option All” and click Update

4. Edit VLAN 110 under VLAN interfaces >> Check the “Request Option All” and click Update

5. Once done, Save the Configuration under the AP group settings
