- You should probably expand , you basic knowledge about wireless guest networks being setup for wireless users. Basically you need to couple the SSID for the guest users to a separate network (usually a VLAN), besides the corporate network. This network should then be 'served' by a DHCP server solution. It's preferable to use a DHCP server outside the vWLC.

very sorry I was probably not clear what the issue is I have got a dhcp server win 2016 dishing out IP I have my AP on VLAN 14 and my corp network on VLAN2 I have created a interface on vWLC that is on the VLAN 2 and have set it as interface for corp Network however when clients join they get a IP address on the VLAN14

- You still don't mention , then, what the configuration is for the guest network in your reply. Anyway if properly setup , from the command line on the controller issue show wlan id , where id corresponds to the particular ssid for the wlan. Look for the lines containing the DHCP server setup. Make sure the external DHCP server is listed. If not check the configuration for the guest-SSID in the controller web-interface, look for the 'DHCP required option'. Toggle it on or off to get the desired result.

Create a seperate network via vlan like someone suggested earlier. Then either use an anchor controller (Only needed if your company has a large environment and deep pockets) or seperate your guests at the firewall level. If you wanna take it to the next level configure a VRF on your core for complete isolation.

And get rid of that vWLC lol j/k. I've heard they are pretty buggy
