Wasnt local switching already enabled?
By default local switching is disabled while creating the WLAN. Flex connect mode APs will not be able to do local data switching until it's enabled under WLAN.
Very useful knowledge on flexconnet for local switching on vlan tags.... really awesome
Hello Jason,
Thanks for the video and efforts. I have one request to arrange the videos from zero to advance, it will help to learn step by step. Thank you.
Created some playlists with the order, please check that out. Hope that will help little bit on this ask
BEST Explaination!!
Great video!!!! I have a question that I want to consult you. when we config the VLAN mapping per ap and the VLAN is not map to the WLAN. I mean it is different from the VLAN I set in the WLAN. what the influence do we have? Looking forward your messages!!!
Excellent
nice video
Great Video !! Can i please know, how do we join this AP from a remote site to the WLC in DC when they are not in same subnet ? Can we do it through L3 routing ? any videos on that ? Thanks.
Basic requirement is to have a L3 connectivity between WLC and AP. If you can make that happen normal CAPWAP discovery will help you to get there. Please watch the video for CAPWAP discovery process, that explains different ways of discovering the WLC. In simple note Option 43 in DHCP Scope will be your friend here.
@@CiscoNetworking thanks let me try it and let you know the output. I have just configured a flex connect looking at your video, we will move the ap to remote location and check. Thanks
Better if you include all components , like whats configuration needed for WLC to switch side and vlan mapping and support
There is another video that shows how to establish connectivity between WLC and Switch in my channel. May be that video can provide more info on switch specific configurations

Hi JAson another great video on Wireless, Really helpful....Two query I have regarding the configuration:-
1) Do we need to pass the correspoding vlans (which get created everytime we define vlan for locally sw/itched WLAN on AP) on switch connected trunk link as well, along with the Native Vlan.
2) Do the native vlan carry Centrally switched WLANs data over to the WLC present in DC
1) You have two items here
If you are making changes on Native VLAN, you have to update the same on the switches.
If you want to add more WLAN with Diff VLANs, you have to update the 'allowed VLAN' list on the switch trunk port accordingly.
2) in simple words, APs establish the CAPWAP tunnel using the AP Management IP part of the Native VLAN. So all the traffic pointing to WLC will pass through the same path. As the centrally switched WLANs are using the WLC as an exit point, they will pass through the native VLAN.
@@CiscoNetworking Thanks for the reply Jason...
MONSTER!
Didn't understand this comment, could you please elaborate
Hi I have 9800 wireless controller and want to join 2802i capwap AP is there any method ?
Should be supported, please follow the CAPWAP discovery process video in my channel.
How to configure new ap in wlc with vlan id creation
Didn't understand the question, could you please elaborate on the query.
if i have an interface on the wlc where a captive portal is enabled and i have the ap in the remote offices how do i transport the captive up to the remote ap using the flex connect?
Keep the WLAN as central switching
Hi Friend, i have one query if we have multiple AP in flex-connect mode but SSID is not converted to flex-connect. And want to do this now will it reboot AP or what will be the impact of SSID changes bring in network as i have 400+ AP and want to change SSID to flex-connect which is not implemented earlier but AP is chose as flex connect.
Only in two conditions we need AP reboot
1. AP mode change
2. AP group change
In newer APs, some of the reboots are also reduced but there will be a CAPWAP reset.
In your case APs are already in Flex-Connect mode so there is no reason for a reboot. But there will be a flap on WLAN as you have to disable and enable the WLAN to make changes. Also keep your Flex-Connect group ready for better handling of Locally Switched WLANs
what if the flexconnect ap has a weak signal? and users cannot connect to some ssid? what is the possible issue? and what resolution must be considered? thank you.
AP mode and RF don't have any connection here. Try to find what is going wrong on TX power levels in that area. Most probably its an RRM related issue. If you have an NMS system like Prime or DNAC check the heatmap of that area and find how the PTC taking care of the Transmit power. One you correct the RRM/RF profile settings, the issue should get resolved.
do you conduct classes with lab ?
No, with my current work load it’s not possible
@Cisco Networking where can I get hands on with this?
There are rented labs available for practice, in small scale try to use Cisco Packet Tracer
@@CiscoNetworking thanks
What’s the difference between vlan 9 and vlan 10?
Just consider it as seperate vlans in the network, nothing special on it
Cisco Networking - but what is their purpose? Is vlan 9 for the APs and Vlan 10 for data traffic? Thank you
@@Soundwave-F7Z In my LAB setup the 10NW is used for outside network and 9NW is issolated inside my LAB. I access the LAB using 10NW directly or the Jump server that participating 10 and 9 NW. For showing the example was using both networks.
