WLC 4402 assign multiple VLANs to one SSID

[decrypted08]

Is it possible to have one broadcasting SSID but clients seperated by, lets say say 7 different vlans in the WLC?  For example- each floor would be seperated by its own vlan and dchp pool, but they all connect to one SSID in the controller.  From what I just read it seems that each vlan would be assigned its own SSID?

Sure.  Take a look at "AP Groups".  You will also want to be careful that you dont have any bleed from adjacent floors since you could have clients connected to APs on the floor above or below and that could throw off your roaming.

Would it really matter if they pick up a different vlan if theyre all on the same ssid going to the same core switch in the end?  The only reason I wanted multiple vlans was for ease of management-

If they are mobile, they would have to redo the dhcp request since their layer 3 network would change and that would cause some connectivity issues.
