Cisco WLC5508 Dynamic VLAN assignment error

Mark Massheder
Level 1

Hi All,

We have a HA (SSO) WLC controller pair in two DC's with the Management Interface managing the AP's. The AP's are located in the Campus LAN and the Campus and DC networks are seperated by a L3 boundary.

The plan is for one of the WLAN's to provide Dynamic VLAN Assignment via radius as a test I wanted to use the existing Management interface to bind to the WLAN, but since working through the following Document ID: 71683 one thing I noticed whilst working through the the document states that "it is required that the VLAN-ID configured under the IETF 81 (Tunnel-Private-Group-ID) field of the RADIUS server exist on the WLC"

If the above statement is true and we don't stretch VLAN's between the Campus LAN and the DC network due to the L3 boundary does this mean that Dynamic VLAN assignment won't be achievable?  When testing a client connection and debugging the result I receive the following:-

I've sanitised some of the debug output to protect the username but the net result is no IP address assigned to the client and unable to connect to the network.

Would appreciate any guidance as to whether the Wireless Client VLAN's need to be interfaces on the WLC in order to work or whether the likes of Flexconnect could alleviate the L3 boundary?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Mark

Hi All,

After playing with Flexconnect I managed to get the dynamic vlan assignment working.

Need to create the Flexconnect Group add in the AP's to the gorup and then select the ACL Mapping tab > AAA VLAN-ACL mapping and added in the VLAN of my VLAN that my Tunnel-Group-ID (VLAN ID) had assigned to me.

Client connected and received the correct IP configuration.

Thanks

Mark
