wlc 5508 management interface vlan - access point vlan

[Mathieu Sturm]

Is it required that the access points are in the same vlan as the management interface on a wlc 5508?

[Stephen Rodriguez · Accepted solution]

No, it's not required.  So long as there is L3 reachability between the AP VLAN(s) and the Management interface that is what matters.

HTH,

Steve is right.... just to add, here is a link to a doc that explains the AP join process in both layer 2 and layer 3.

One thing I will add. If you use the management interface and not an ap manger. Make sure under the management interface you check box dynamic ap manager.

I assume the same for the Gen2 WLC.
