    Hi all, can someone shed some light on this ?

     

    IAP 105 cluster, I want to use static vlan assignment for a number of SSID's.

    So trunk the relevant vlans to the VC, will need to do this on all IAP's as the VC may fail.

     

    When a client hits an ssid on a non VC ap does it GRE tunnel the traffic back to the VC as in a controller based solution ? ie do all clients ultimately need to hit the VC ?

     

    Thanks

    No!  The only time that the client's traffic will hit the VC is if:

     

    1. You are using Virtual controller assigned for IP addressing

    2. You are using IAP+VPN functionality on that VLAN

     

    If it's just a static VLAN ID(s), then yhe traffic is dropped off locally on the APs wired port.
