- If you talk about basic configuring it's no different from 9800-XE , you may find this video useful and or applicable :

Thank you for the reply, actually i have two issues, first one that i need to configure two SSIDs into different VLANs and i am not able to achieve this setup! As i saw in one of the documents that has to be only with flex. If any one coukd guide for this setup.

Second one, when ever i setup the AP the ciscoMac SSID for the day0 is not going even when i save the configuration?? Also when i reload the AP the new SSID i created will stop broadcasting but i can see it configured in the AP.

I really appreciate your help with achieve this setup.

Start by only configuring the "master" AP before adding the others to the network, to ensure you actually configure the correct one. Once you are done with the master and everything is working, add the others to the network and they should automatically join the master and get the master configuration after some minutes. Not sure if you need to "adopt" them on EWC though.

Actually this is what i am doing, i started with one only. I did not connect the other. Right now i am trying to get the vlan setup and get each ssid in correct vlan.

Please note, for this you will need a trunk port on each switchport where you connect an AP to. The native vlan should be set to the one you have configured as "untagged", usually the management interface.

Yes, I have configured the port where the Ap has connected as trunk also with the native VLAN for the management VLAN where I give the interface IP.

I am following the documents and still trying, but it is still not working. there must be something missing in what I'm doing and it is not mentioned in the documents.

This shouldn’t be a problem at all. Could you share me please a screenshot of your networking settings and also the SSID configuration?
Which software release are you running? Who knows, maybe you are hitting some weird bug.
