HREAP configuraiton in Cisco 3850 switch and Cisco 5508 WLC

[jubair151]

dear team,

I am trying to configure HREAP option in CIsco 3850 switch and WLC 5508. I am not able  to get the HREAP option in the advance TAB of the WLAN tab. Kindly let me know whether I can configure HREAP option in Cisco 3850 switch and Cisco WLC 5508.

Regards,

Jubair.S

Hi,

yes - you need to do the following:

Under wireless tab on the WLC, select the AP yu want to configure as H-REAP mode, then under the APs general tab. Choose AP Mode., and configure this to H-REAP mode.

Beware you will also need to modify the switch port that the AP is connected to must be changed to a trunkport, i.e. switchport mode trunk.

Here is a link for more detail.

dear Mike,

I am using Cisco 3850 switch to register my access point. After Joining the access point, i was checking the option int AP settting to make it as HREAP, but i am not getting that option. Please find the attached screenshot.

Hi 

3850/5760 (or Converged Access) does not support H-REAP or any other modes other than LOCAL mode AP deployment

See below for WLC feature comparison

Hi Rasika,

What about Cisco 5508. I am using Cisco AP 1600 and 3600 for this HREAP use. Am I able to configure HREAP in Cisco 5508 along with Cisco AP 1602 and 3600 series.

This is a good design and deployment guide for H-reap in 5508 .

Hi,

As per the Cisco documents, HREAP has been migrated as flex connect mode.

That all depends on the version of code that is running on the controller, I started off with HREAP on our 5508 because I was running a 7.0.x.x version once I moved to 7.4 HREAP was converted to flex connect...
