HI
Here is the thing, I need to add some FlexConnect AP of a remote Office to my WLC and I have to spread the same SSID that I use at my local office using local AP.
I read some post and it says that the only option is to activate the option "FlexConnect Local Switching" in the WLAN that i want to spread, my dude is if this has some effects in my central office. I have my dudes because the post is from 2015 and the cersion of my WLC is 8.5
Regards to all

Hola Pedro,
You need the AP in FlexC + the SSID advanced tab with the Local Switching enabled. The SSID's are advertised/broadcasted no matter if the AP is Local Mode or FlexC (I am running a pilot with both options at the remote site), on my case I am using AP Group/Interface to achieve that (there are another options to do this). Then you have to decide if you want to NAT/PAT the traffic locally using the same AP VLAN IP, have additional local VLAN's or Central DHCP (different options available). I think you need to read more about this feature. Send me a private message with your email so I can share what I did on my case.
