On a 5520 WLC when i create a wlan, i have to assign it to an interface.   when i create an AP group, then add a wlan to it, I have the ability to assign an interface here was well.  the note on it reads below, but doesn't really apply since i am no using FlexConnect for anything.   So why can I do this?  What happens if they are set to different interfaces (not really sure I want to test)?  I cannot find any documentation on this.    ...

I have a switch that has several devices on it.  these devices are in 4 different vlans.  I went to move a cisco wireless access point into a different vlan, a vlan that no end device was currently on.  when i did, it said the vlan did not exist on the switch and created.  i thought that was strange.  sure enough, the switch was in transparent mode.     leaving the switch in transparent mode, i did a show run.  i saw a bunch of vlans created directly on the switch.  all devices, including the AP were working perfectly.  so with my new vlan created on the switch, i moved the AP into the new vlan.  it never came back up (was never seen by the wireless controller).  When I move it back to the vlan it was previously in, in comes back just fine.   So i put the switch into transparent mode.  did a show run, i no longer saw the vlans created directly on the switch.  everything looked good.  it saw all the other vlans that were never on the switch.  i move the AP to my newly created vlan and it is still never seen by the controller.  I put it back to its old vlan and it comes back just fine.  so then, i tried a static IP on the AP and moved the port over, now it is gone forever.  unless I can get the vlan to work on the switch, i will have to take the AP down (its 20 feet in the air, thats a tall ladder) and factory reset it.  because with the static IP of the new vlan, it doesn't matter if i put the port back to the old vlan.     other things I have tried...   VTP settings look good.  the VTP domain is the same as all my other switches (otherwise it wouldn't see the vtp database from the vtp server).   I have tried trunking the port.  thought maybe this would do something.     I do not understand why all the other devices on the switch work just fine I do not understand why this AP worked in the old vlan just fine (until the static IP of the new vlan) I do not understand why the AP will not work in the new vlan   Any help is greatly appreciated.  ...

i am trying to get rid of a manual binding.  when i run the command to clear IP DHCP Binding 192.168.161.5 i get the message: % 192.168.161.5 is a reservation.  Use the pool's address command.   There is nothing online where someone has run into this.  I am not getting an answer.  I am able to remove other bindings just fine, whether they are static or not.  I do not understand this message. ...

I would like to enable a port, and if there is no activity for a 12 hour period on that port, i would like it to be disabled. I have looked at aging port security, but that I don't see it.  I want to stay away from sticky mac's, its too much overhead.  Can anyone point me in the right direction, aging only clears mac addresses, whether its absolute or inactive.  I want to disable the port, shut it down.  Any insight is greatly appreciated ...
