Access point compatible with Freeradius and Dynamic VLAN

[cinmar]

Hi everybody,
in our company about 5 years ago we bult a FreeRadius infrastructure based on a Linux Radius/LDAP server and many Dlink access points. 
Our system takes advantage of "Dynamic VLAN ID" option of those access points because devices connected to the access points are put in two different VLANS according to LDAP attributes TunnelMediumType and radiusTunnelPrivateGroupId (mapped to Radius attributes Tunnel-Medium-Type and Tunnel-Private-Group-ID). 

We need to buy some new Access Points for our infrastructure, but those Dlink APs are now discontinued products.

Is there an available Access point that fully supports "Dynamic VLAN ID" option, like our old access point did?
Here is the documentation we followed many years ago: http://ftp.dlink.ru/pub/Wireless/DWL-3200AP/Knowlegebase/DWL-3200AP_Dynamic_Vlan.pdf

Cisco has AP’s that can run Mobility Express and or controller based solutions that can work with dynamic vlans.  However, it depends on the radius server and how the attributes are sent back to the AP/WLC.  I have not used Freeradius, so I can’t say if it works and how to get it to work.  I would think that the cost of the Cisco/Meraki AP’s would be a lot more than the Dlink.



These days, its best to have a controller based solution or cloud based solution for ease of management.  Many of these solutions out in the market should work for you, but you would have to find someone whom uses Freeradius and can share how they have gotten it to work or not.
