As we discussed in the “OEAP Overview” post, from CCIE lab perspective this feature is enabled on normal LWAP by converting it on to OEAP (No 600 series OEAP HW in CCIE Lab). In this post we will see how to configure this feature on WLCs.
Prior to convert LWAP into OEAP, you need to connect AP into the network in local mode & get it register to a WLC. Once registered you can select this LWAP in controller GUI & change its mode to “Flex Connect” (I am using 7.4 WLC code). This “Flexconnect” is known as “HREAP-Hybrid Remote Edge Access Point” feature in the earlier releases of WLC software.
In order to this AP always goes to specific WLC (normally who has a publicly reachable IP address or WLC’s management IP address NAT to public IP) you can configure WLC name & IP address in “High Availability” tab.
