vWLC flex connect in EVE-NG

Post by sam116 » Tue Feb 27, 2018 12:51 am

I will appreciate if someone could provide some guidance or share sample configuration for the lightweight AP registered with vWLC leveraging flex-connect option. In my home lab the outside AP register with vWLC and it also broadcast the SSIDs but wireless clients could not connect to it and neither AP could perform the VLAN switching. I also did mapping of the VLAN in AP but it is not working. Sample layout of the lab is given below.


AP (connected to Physical switch with VLAN configured) -------------------------> (EVE Cloud)------(vSwitch)--------(IOS DHCP)
|
|
|
(vWLC) configured with IP address of the DHCP



Thanks

Usually AP is connected to the trunk port on the switch. mgmt vlan is used register AP to vWLC, and other subinterfaces will be assigned per SSID.
flex connect works like charm, tested with 1142, 12XX series lightweight APs

It does and working.
You have to check flexconnect settings.

And need more details about your setup.

Where is eve installed, esxi, vm workst?
