[palani2010]

We need to change AP from local mode to flex mode. steps mentioned below are correct or else need to make any changes

Under site tag - Disabled local site and enabling flex & AP Join profile

I hope we are considering WCL 9800 with Cat 9K AP here. Yes, you need to create a WLC and Assign the AP to that, but the AP will reboot, and the new configuration will become effective.

Your steps are on the right track! To change the AP from local mode to flex mode, disabling the local site and enabling flex mode, as well as configuring the AP join profile, are key actions. Just ensure that the AP is compatible with flex mode and check if any additional settings, such as DHCP or VLAN configurations, need adjustment.

Hi,

Please share your controller and access point version model.

wireless tag site <your site tag>
   no local-site

That's literally all you need to change the AP mode but obviously once it's in flexconnect mode you may also need to configure flex profiles etc
