Re: Routing capabilites of WLC 5508

andres.lorat · ‎10-12-2010

Hi, how are you?.

In order to make ruting I must have a device of L3 or the WLC 5508 can do this?. I see that static route can be pointed to service port, but not another interface.

Thanks a lot.

Andres.

You must have another device to do the routing. Even though it has IP addresses, the WLC is a Layer 2 device only.

Hi Stephen, thanks for your answer. Then, WLC is only l2, but can filter ACL L3.

Thanks.

Yes, because the clients traffic has to pass through the WLC.

Very Thanks Stephen,

My question about L3 is the following:

Each vlan is a different SSID, the efault Gateway for the clients of each one of these SSID must be an external device L3.

My question was referred to configure like default Gateway of the clients the dynamic interfaces of each one of the SSID in the WLC and from the WLC to create a route default towards another device to send all the traffic outside(internet).

Thanks a lot.
