WLC 98000 - FlexConnect - Roaming

[Marcus Hunold]

WLC 98000 - FlexConnect - recommendation 100 / 300 APs per site tags.

Assumption: Each site tag = a roaming area

Question: Can be used one Flex Profile for different site tags and the assumption is still valid?

*These numbers are for local mode APs. For FlexConnect APs and related remote site tags, if seamless roaming is required, the limit is 100 APs per site tag (the same as for AireOS). As of release 17.8.1, the limit has been increased to 300 APs per site tag leveraging the “Pairwise Master Key (PMK) propagate” feature, also called “FlexConnect High Scale Mode”.

Yes you can use the same flex profile across multiple site tags - if and only if your configuration (like WLAN-VLAN mapping, AP native vlan) is consistent across the sites.
But generally it is a good idea to keep separate flex profiles for different sites as that will give you freedom to make any site specific changes in future, if needed.
