Adding WLC 5220 to network - possible solution like this?

Hello guys!

Recently I have purchased WLC 5520 to remove controllers all around my locations. Also with that now I have optical links directly to my central location.

On my end-points I have guests, which connect to AP and I want to push them out to the internet on VLAN 100

This is how I pictured it: I need advice if this is possible to make it like this:

Each of the building are going directly to SFP switch.

Then from SFP switch to WLC 5520 on SFP Port1.

and to put Internet on SFP Port2

DHCP for guests would be on SFP switch on some port Accessing to VLAN100

DHCP for APs would be on SFP switch on some port Accessing to VLANXX

Would that work? All traffic goes over WLC (Local mode) and we are good to go? I would just add Management port to my local network so I can manage those APs and such...

Also would add some management VLAN to SFP switch on some ports, so I can add maybe management SSID in future.

Thanks!

Yes, this is possible.

Great!

Also I would be able let's say connect my business network to SFP switch (VLAN 150) and add SSID to all AP-s which will tag to VLAN150, and traffic would go to business network?

That should work too.
