We are going to implement Cisco Aironet 1815i Series at branches. Cisco Virtual Wireless Controller (VM) and DHCP server are installing in HQ. From Branches to HQ is connected with DPLC connection.
Will this solution support FLEXCONNECT or LOCAL CONNECT ?

From an AP Mode yes has to be Flexconnect.
Where the DHCP server lives is up to you as long as it responds in a timely manner.
That being said the main use case of Flexconnect is to keep going if WAN goes down, so consider that in your design if clients still need to be able to get IPs in the event of WAN failure

The vWLC does not support local mode APs so will need to use Flexconnect mode APs.

Hi Haydn, so, it means all AP from Branches using Flexconnect configuration support DHCP server centralized in HQ. No need to install DHCP server in each branches ?
