Multiple VLANs on same SSID

[Bradley Fox]

Hello community!  I'd like some experts to take a look at my solution here and see if I'm taking the correct approach.

I have the following scnerio:

1. WLC 5508 7.0.116.0
2. Physical ports configured for LAG
3. AIR-LAP1142N-A-K9
4. Multiple Buildings
5. Each Building has it's own WiFi VLAN/Subnet
6. All buildings share SSID
7. WiFi Clients should be assigned the correct subnet/vlan based on the building they are in

I've done the following on my 5508:

1. Setup an interface for each VLAN/Subnet
2. Setup an Interface group and added interfaces from step 1
3. Created WLAN (SSID) and assigned it to the interface group from step 2
4. Created AP Groups for each Building
5. Assigned approperiate interface from step 1 to each AP Group
6. Assigned APs from each building to AP Groups

Does this look like the correct configuration for my goal?  I set this up using information from this article though it appears to be old and they aren't using LAG in their setup.

Depends... is your building connected via layer 2 or layer 3.  If layer 3, you need to setup the access point in your other building in h-reap mode and setup you ssid to h-reap local switching.  This will allow you to map the ssid to the correct vlan at that location.

This doc explains h-reap:

My buildings are connected via Layer 2

So all the vlans come back to where the WLC is located.... then you can use ap groups and define what ap's will have what ssid and what interface they will use.  Makes sense?

I'm sorry if I'm being dense, but just to clarify.  All my vlan gateways are on the service stack the WLC is connected to so the configuration in my original post is correct?

All WiFi traffic in this scnerio will be tunneled back to the controller via CAPWAP?

Yes that is correct.

HTH,
Steve
