Flex Connect Local Switching

[roycemathew]

hi All,

I have a scenario of Flex connect AP's in a site. This setup works fine with central switching. But doesn't work with local switching.

I would like to know what all needs to be done in getting this working perfectly.

Starting from Switch port config - i have a single vlan for AP management and WiFi users in 2 SSID's.

WLC is in remote site B.

Flex connect AP in site - 6 - 1242AG

When i change the SSID to local switching user is unable to open any of his application.He is able to do ping and trace.

But everything works well when this is changed to central.

ANy thoughts or idea. I am sure this wont be a big issue but for sure i am unable to overcome it.

Any help on this is much appreciated.

Hi,

If you want to do local switching you have to configure native vlan and vlan mapppings on the H-Reap AP.

-Change the AP mode to H-Reap

-Configure the ssid to support local switching under advanced tab.

-Configure switchport  the AP is connected to trunk  with native vlan the management vlan.

-Go to your AP-H-REAP tab,define the native vlan,apply and then configure the vlan mappings.

Hope this helps,

Christos.
