WLC2016 multiple network segments using internal dhcp server

andreascalvo — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 07:19:30 GMT

We have a running WCL 2106 with 6 LAPs, and since now we have been using just 1 WLAN which worked ok.

We want to split into more WLAN, each one with a different network segment, but only using the internal DHCP server.

While defining a new dhcp scope in the internal server is possible, we assume it's necessary to create virtual interfaces to route the traffic out of the controller, but the same physical port cannot be use and it requires a VLAN tag.

Is it possible to use VLAN tagging per WLAN only on the controller (meaning that the management interface will route all traffic out)?

Thanks

No the WLC doesn't route, it is a layer two device.

You'll need to create interfaces with IP addresses for each VLAN you want the users to be able to be on.

HTH,
