question to wlc 722 wifi design

[as00001111]

Hey all,

I would like to ask you something about a wifi design and it would be nice to get some helpful explanations.

There is a wlc in our headquarter. Additionally, in our branch offices are AP's that connect to the wlc in the HQ.

There is a wifi ssid that has Flex Connect enabled under "Advanced" tab. Futhermore, it uses dot1x for authentication.

Under "general" tab there is an interface configured that exists in the HQ.

My question is: When users in a BO connect to that wifi, how do they come into the local vlan there? Who manages that? How does the AP know?

Thank you!

Its because flexconnect local swicthing is configured on WLAN.

Check this doc for more info:

Thank you!

What about the new wlc 9800 and AP 9120, do they still support Flexconnect?

[Haydn Andrews]

yes the 9800s and the 9100 APs support flexconnect

But the 9120 doesn't (yet) support WGB:

Check in advance if you need any WGB features for the Flexconnect setup. I haven't experimented with both yet, but I think there are some overlaps.
