Hello,
What are the Cisco Wireless best practices for VLAN segmentation ?

- Cisco WLC on a dedicated VLAN ?
Thanks

There are no recommended value for max AP per vlan. /24, /23 subnet size is most common.
If you have a large number of APs then it is recommended to separate AP mgmt from WLC mgmt to prevent all AP broadcast reach & burden WLC.

Totally Agree With Rasika..
Just my 1 cent...
As per my experiences (50-80) is more then enough on 1 VLAN. This action prevent from re-association during network failure"
If you are using the same VLAN from WLC management & AP then dont put more then 20-25 AP(Again as per my real life exp.) otherwise broadcast messages generated by APs & some discovery messages may get dropped and it will make the AP joining process slower.
My recommandation is that you must keep the WLC and AP on different subnet.
