Question about 2504 Wireless Controller

[kennin.simmons]

Hello,

I am tasked with configuring a 2504 wireless controller.  Is it possible to assign an SSID to an interface that has dynamic ap management enabled?

Scenario:

Location1:

1) 10.0.0.0/24

2)192.168.0.0/24 DMZ

Location 2:

1) 10.0.5.0

Both locations are routable using network 1 at each location.  However, I need to configure several access points and send them to location 2.  These access points will communicate with the controller at location 1 on network 1.  Two SSIDs will need to be on network 1 at location 1.  The other SSID will be on Network 2 at location 1.  This network is not routable. 

Thank You for your help.

port 1 and port 2- Trunk 100, 101(?), 102, and 103?

port 3 and port 4- Trunk 299(?)

You don’t need the AP vlan on the allowed list, just 100, 102 and 103. For port 2 and port 4, all you need is to allow the guest vlan.

OK thats what I thought (just a couple of typos that confused me)

Last question though from above-

Why put the APs in a separate vlan?

I understand that they can be in any vlan, but is there some logic behind isolating them? Couldn't I just place them in the same vlan as the AP-manager interface to facilitate more direct communication?

Thanks again Scott

Well in the 2504, the management is by default also the ap manger. You can put the AP's in any vlan, I just like to keep them on their own vlan. I wouldn't try to get fancy and create seperate ap managers on the 2504 wlc.

Thanks,
