WLANs
This is my fictional network topology which has nothing to do with reality and is only for educational purposes and is not referred as classified.
The problem is with L2 which is succesfully connected to LAP which acquires ip address via DHCP from WLC's DHCP pool for management.
L2 cannot manage to acquire ip address from R13's dhcp pool for VLAN 10
MS3 has gig1/1/2 trunk and gig1/0/22-24 access mode VLAN 99.
PC41 succesfully acquires dynamic ip address from R13's dhcp pool
R12 can succesfully ping the WLC and the LAP and MS3
L2 cannot acquire dynamically acclaimed ip address from R13's pool for VLAN 10 and also tried giving static ip address of 172.19.10.5/24 but it didnt work.
Configuration for R13:

Hi @antonios_garatsidis! - this type of question should really rather be asked on the Learning Network communities.
https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/s/communities
But anyway - can PC41 get a DHCP IP address on VLAN 10?
- Is the AP in Local Mode or Flexconnect Mode?
- Is the WLAN configured for central switching, DHCP and authentication (or local)?
- Is VLAN 10 allowed on the WLC switch port? (should be trunk port and allowed VLANs should include 10)
I think the answer there is NO because:
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/23 description CONNECTION_TO_WLC switchport access vlan 99 switchport mode access
If you were intending to use Flexconnect local switching then the AP port needs to be a trunk allowing VLAN 10 and the WLAN needs to be mapped to flex local VLAN 10.

Hello! THANK YOU!!!
-PC41 was able to acquire address via DHCP from DHCP server on R13
-The LAPs on my network acquire addresses from DHCP server on WLC
-Switched the port gig1/0/23 to trunk with allowed vlans 10,20,30,80,99 which are all VLANs that I use
EVERYTHING worked and all wirelessly connected laptops that I used were able to contact the whole network but R13 still cannot ping the 172.19.99.254 address of WLC!

Good!
> R13 still cannot ping the 172.19.99.254 address of WLC!
Well they should be neighbours on VLAN 99 with direct layer 2 connectivity so that's strange.
Is the R13 MAC address in WLC ARP cache and is WLC MAC address in the R13 ARP cache?
Are you sure you don't have any CPU ACL configured on the WLC which might be blocking those pings?
