Different buildings, different vlans, same SSID

[Clark Townsidn]

Hello community, I am configuring and segmenting my network into different Vlans for the different buildings that I have in the city, but I have a detail that I can only assign one Vlan to one SSID of my wireless network, someone help me or have you been introduced a similar scenario?

Thank you!

You need to configure APs with Tags first, then you can configure SSID with different VLANs for locations. Check out this article:

Thanks for your help.

I followed the above documentation and it did not work

The AP is on a sinlge management VLAN 1

The AP's were tagged with the corresponding VLAN they are on (VLAN 4 and 5)

The switch port (MS switches) were the AP are connected to set up correctly as per the document

However the VLAN tagging did not work for me, the incorrect VLAN tag was applied to the packet

DHCP is served by the MS switches

As an example I am on VLAN 5 so get IP from VLAN 5 when I move to VLAN 4, my IP is still on VLAN 5 and doing a packet capture on the switch where the AP is connected to, the DHCP request is tagged with VLAN 5 and not VLAN 4.

The bottom of this doc explains exactly what you're describing
