Noob Cisco Wireless Question

ahleyjohn38 — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 20:09:55 GMT

I just set up a Cisco 5508 WLC and a 3702 AP. The AP is in flexconnect mode. Both the link to the WLC and AP are trunks. Both are using VLAN 255 as their managment ip. Facing the AP I used "switchport trunk native vlan 255", and am able to reach it over its management ip.

My question is, how do I set up an SSID to use VLAN 100 (or any other vlan)? When I go in to my AP, under the flexconnect tab, VLAN Mappings, it shows the wlan, but says its a "Centrally switched wlan". Its grayed out to specify which vlan it is in.

You need to go to the WLAN SSID setting and enable "Local Switching". That will give you the option under the FlexConnect section.

Take a look at some guides and blogs on FlexConnect local switching. That might help you understand what you need to modify in your configuration:
