Hello,

I've been asked to look at a WLAN Controller project. Initially, this
will be for our internal use, then eventually offering some sort of
multi-tenancy share for our customers.

Anyone have any experience in the latter?

I guess we'd need a WCS, in order to give customers access to see
their own devices/reports etc. If that's possible.

Thanks, Stuart.

If you have to authenticate WLAN users for multiple customers, check the
restrictions for the originating interface for RADIUS requests. Each
RADIUS server must be reachable from the IP addresses of the
controller's management interface, which must also be reachable by every
connected LWAP. So if your customers want their own RADIUS servers used
for their own SSID/VLAN those management networks must be
interconnected, which is usually NOT the desired topology.
You can set the RADIUS server per VLAN/SSID but you cannot set the
RADIUS authenticator source interface per SSID/VLAN.
No problem if all WLAN's use a common RADIUS.
