Flexconnect AAA override VLAN string

[JPavonM]

Hi support,

Our customer has a configuration with AAA override but returning VLAN string instead of VLAN ID tag. For this scenario, everything is working fine in a centralized mode (WLC get VLAN string from RADIUS response and allocate users in the corresponding WLC dynamic interface with that string).

Can this scenario be possible under Flexconnect local mode? By my understanding, Flexconnect AP only identify VLAN ID tag, not string, so it won't be able to allocate users properly in every VLAN and all of them will fail to the default configured WLAN-VLAN mapping. Is that correct? So if this is true, we will have to continue with a centrallized forwarding mode.

Regards.

That is true. FlexConnect has its limitations especially when it comes to AAA override etc. Wish this wasn’t the case, many would probably use it more. I looked into this again recently with iPSK and it’s not supported on local switching.
