Hi

 No, you dont.  On the vlan there´s an option "Enable Dynamic AP Management". The WLC only accept one vlan to have this option checked.

And this can be disrruptive, so be carefull

the WLC can only have the single AP management VLAN. But the APs can live on a different VLAN as long as one of the WLC discovery methods like DHCP option 43 or DNS to discover the WLC are available to them (plus nothing blocking CAPWAP control and data between them)

Hi Haydn,
I've come across several of your responses to various issues, and I now have a challenge related to the WLC 5500 and associated APs (1600, 2600, and 2800). I need to change the WLAN subnet from 172.22.0.0/16 to 10.6.15.0/24. The old WLC management IP is 172.22.243.223, and the new one will be 10.6.15.10. The previous DHCP scope for APs ranged from 172.22.105.10 to 172.22.106.199; the new scope will be 10.6.15.100 to 10.6.15.199. The DNS servers in the scope will be 172.22.22.22, and the DNS domain is XXXX.local. I'm feeling quite confused as these devices are quite old, and the task outcome is unclear to me, given that I'm attempting this for the first time. I'd appreciate your valuable insights.

Thank you in advance.

Yes APs can be in any VLANs but make sure that you configure a right method for registration to WLC.
