WLC lost wireless networks

[rlaudicina]

I have 2 4402 WLC's and a central office and was trying to configure an H-Reap Ap but now the entire wireless network is down. Clients arent getting IP's. I cant see anything that is wrong but things are not working like they should. Please help.

If you plan on putting users on a different vlan at the remote (h-reap) sites, then you need to change the switchport the AP's are connected to. In h-reap you are no longer tunneling traffic if you setup local switching on the WLAN. It will be like an autonomous AP per say. Traffic gets dumped out to the switch the ap is connected to.

Ok then so I can remote into one of the branch switches, determine which port the AP in plugged into and then configure that port for dot1.q and then emable H-Reap on THAT AP? without causing any further issues?

Yes correct. The ap will disconnect while you make the change but should come right back up.

Is there any forther configuration that I need to do on the WLC or otherwise? I have several sites to do this on, would I need to create actual VLANs?

Yes you do.. See my other post.

Finally was able to deploy the first H-Reap AP out to a remote sitr and remote switching works perfectly !!! Thanks Scott!!
