You don't have to add subnets to the interface in WLC. You just have to add the subnets for local mode APs.
To make it clear
WLC1 - 5508
APs (2) - 2702 - Local mode
APs (2) - 2802 - Flex mode
SSID -
Local VLAN - 10
Remote site VLAN - 20
Remote site native VLAN - 30
For local mode APs you just configure it as usual.
For Flex mode,
1. Create an AP group, broadcast
2. Go to AP (
3. Go to
I hope that is clear enough. Please let me know if you have any questions.

ISSUE Resolved!
Firts of all I have to change the SSID that I want to use on diferent site with diferent vlans to use flexconnect local switches enable on advanced TAB
The accesws point should have AP mode as Flexconnect
After i have to add the access point to the its owned group and on the FlexConnect TAB in the AP i configure the native vlan id and vlan mapping on VLAN mappins when we have the Local Siwtches Enable on the SSID you can change the VLAN ID to the Site VLAN.
after this everything is workin!
Thank you for all

Hi Gregorio,
I am happy to see that you got your issue resolved. But I would like to comment on the below statement.
"
I don't think you need two different SSIDs configured on the WLC for local and flex connect APs. You can have single SSID with

Hi Gregorio310,
The answer is YES, you should select
Also, the document mentioned in the above link is pretty straight forward. You can refer it, but if you want to use the same WLAN at
Configure WLAN similar to how you configure in local site and select
Sorry if I confused you a lot. I don't have a test environment to post you
