Looking for advice/suggestions for the following:
I am creating a new SSID and will have more than 500 devices connecting. The dhcp scope is a /23 network so I know ip space will run out. Can I create an interface group and assign 2 interfaces each with a /23 network? Will it alleviate my problem of not enough ip addresses? TIA

provided you have the individual interfaces crated already,
you should be doing--->controller--->interface groups--->Add Group--->Interface group name & Description--->Add
then go to interface group you just created and add the individual interfaces to be grouped under this group
then go to WLAN-> select interface group(usually have (G))at the end of its name-->APply
so you are applying the interface group to WLAN/SSID or AP group
I have seen this working for me and also i believe this does dhcp balancing to pick leases out on both subnets,,,,

yes i see thats one best workaround and there is another possibility of secondary subnet on that vlan..

I think Veera is talking about the secondary IP address command under the SVI. For example:
int vlan 10 ip add 10.0.10.1 255.255.255.0 ip add 10.0.11.1 255.255.255.0 secondary
The problem with a secondary address is it's incompatible with DHCP because all DHCP discovers are relayed using the primary address as the source. It's fine if you want to manually assign all the secondary hosts, though.

Thanks Rich, and yes 'interface grouping on WLC' is perhaps the best option on the controller based scenario but there is another workaround where you can always extend IP;s on a vlan by adding secondary subnet, here is a discussion related to it
