Hi guys,



I have a WLC 2006, when i configure both WLC and LWAP on the same vlan, the AP joins, but when i configure the WLC connection to the switch as a trunk, the AP wont join anymore.



Any thoughts?



Regards, Andy.

If the AP and WLC are in different subnets, then a) AP needs a way to find out the IP address of its WLC, and b) AP needs layer 3 connectivity to the WLC

For a), some methods are:

- provide AP with its WLCs' IP addresses via DHCP option 43

- provide the WLCs' addresses in DNS via CISCO-LWAPP-CONTROLLER

another method is to use an IP helper address on the AP's default router.

Aaron,

If you look at the diagram, it shows that the AP is in Vlan 5, and the trunk of the WLC has this Vlan excluded.

Also, what about Vlan 3 and Vlan 4 on the WLC?

I am assuming that Vlan 60 is the native management Vlan.
