In LWAPP network, does all the network traffic both from and to the WLAN client tunneled through a 4400 series WLAN controller that runs firmware version 3.2, once a connection is established

[TCC_2]

Resolution

When the access point (AP) joins a Wireless LAN (WLAN) controller, a Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) tunnel is formed between the two devices. All traffic is sent through the LWAPP tunnel, which includes all client traffic. The only exception to this is when an AP is in REAP mode. When the AP is in Remote-Edge Access Point (REAP) mode, the control traffic is still tunneled to the controller but the data traffic is bridged locally on the local LAN.

• Refer to Remote-Edge AP (REAP) with Lightweight APs and Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs) Configuration Example for more information on REAP configuration.
  
  
• Refer to Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) Troubleshoot FAQ for more information on how to troubleshoot on WLC.
