use flex mode but you cant map the different vlans on a single SSID. you must have to configure multiple SSID

The 1810w doesn’t support FlexConnect? It’s an OEAP or remote teleworkers AP.

Also, FlexConnect doesn’t support layer 3 roaming in local switching. If you use a supported FlexConnect AP, you would have to use FlexConnect with central switching to use multiple subnet.

Thanks scott,

i can go with central switching because i have 5520 HA and 20 GB up link. my need is like accesspint or accesspoint group based vlan but i can use a single SSID only.

eg: if iam conneting guest SSID from AP1,client should go like vlan 10 and if iam connecting from AP2, client Vlan should be 20 and so on.

Okay... well you can do that with a FlexConnect by specifying FlexConnect Groups or when you map your wlan to vlans. However, roaming will break and you will have poor user experience. If you want roaming, which you should, then central switching using AP Groups with wlan to vlan mapping is how you get that to work. Hope that clarifies the design.
