For a C9800-CL, can an AP be in "local mode" but have Flex WLAN's

[mnkojima]

Hello

We have an C9800-CL, and we want one SSID to be "Flex" and another one "central switched". Is that possible? If so, what mode do we need to configure the AP?

Thank you

   - When configuring your controller, you can always have a checkup review of the configuration (or configuring attempts) with the CLI command show tech wireless ; feed the output into : https://cway.cisco.com/wireless-config-analyzer/
                                                 The mentioned procedure is strongly advised ,

In 9800 AP configurations are controlled via Tags & Profiles. By creating two policy profiles (Central & Flex) you can assign those policy profiles to respective SSID (or WLAN Profiles). Please refer below blog post that may help to understand the FlexConnect basics with 9800

Yes it's quite a common use case.  We use it all the time.

The AP must be in flexconnect mode to support local switching.
