3. Deploy APs. The APs will use DNS or DHCP to locate the controller.
4. Configure VLANs for the wireless subnetworks on the controller.
5. Configure SSIDs with the VLANs assigned for each wireless subnetwork.
Each wireless client VLAN must be configured on the controller with an IP address. On the uplink switch or router, you
must configure static routes for each client VLAN, with the controller’s VLAN 1 IP address as the next hop.
Deployment Scenario #3: APs on Multiple Different Subnets from Controllers
Figure 3 APs on Multiple Different Subnets from Controllers
In this deployment scenario, the APs and the controller are on different subnetworks and the APs are on
multiple subnetworks. There are routers between the APs and the controller. The controller is connected to a
layer-2 switch or router through a trunk port that carries traffic for all wireless client VLANs. An upstream
router functions as the default gateway for the wireless users.
