H-Reap mode

Network Pro
Level 7
Level 7

Hi everyone,

i having trouble with the H-reap design. Could someone please help

We have a few APs in our remote site over the WAN and central WLC (connected to our CORE 6500 switch) in our Head Quarters. I have created Guest Wlan which is used in our HQ and needs to be advertised on our remote sites. I also need a Remote Staff Wlan  for the rmeote site that needs local switching (h-reap)

So i created two ids -

Guest - not local switching enabled

Remote Staff Wlan - Local switching and Hreap enabled

The vlans are mapped to vlan 75 on the WLC

All APs on the remote site are on trunk ports connected to a switch

switch ip addresss 172.22.61.4

ap1 - 172.22.61.201

ap2 - 172.22.61.202

ap3 - 172.22.61.203

This switch  trunks back to our core switch 172.22.75.1. this switch is used as a dhcp server for the wireless clients( dhcp pool 75). Also vlan 75 are created on both switches. The core switch in turn connects back to a router (cisco 3725) where this address is advertised over ospf to our main site.

My doubt here is :

1. do i need to create a interface vlan 75 on the WLC and link this interface to the remote staff Wlan ( or is it not needed as its just locally switched)

2. also i know that in H-reap mode only local switched wlan (remote staff wlan) gets tagged and central switched wlan (guest)  uses native vlan. but when coming to the core router do i need this vlan 75

3.  do i need this vlan 75 on our core switches (cisco 6500)  or does the packet not get tagged on reaching the c3725 and gets advertised through ospf ?

Thanks
