Re: WLC as a gateway

Mahmoud · ‎11-13-2020

can the WLC be the gateway for the clients?

-I have a centralized WLC for all branches and we use one SSID but with different vlans

-now we have a limitation in creating more new VLANs in the core switch connecting WLC so if we can use the WLC as a gateway for clients and after that use routing from the WLC to the network.

-I read about flexconnect mode as it my help to use local IP/vlans in branches to solve this issue but still need to know how to use different dhcp server per site

- That is not advisable , better is to have the intranet-vlans coupled to SSID's available on the controller and routing at the core of the Intranet.

Hi @marce1000

could you advise how can we use internal IP/scheme at remote branches so we will have different vlans with different ip scheme per site?
