MC management but local switching?

  • 1.  MC management but local switching?

    Posted Jun 26, 2020 06:57 PM

    Hi there,

     

    Say I have a 9004 controllers but 530 series APs. The 9004 has limited connectivity (4x1G), but 530 supports NBase-T (5gbps).

    How can I take advantage of the bandwidth? Can I take manage then centrally but switch the traffic locally, directly to the switch (no tunnel to controller)?

     

    Thanks

    You would have a bridged SSID.  What wireless client would produce so much traffic, though?  wireless is half duplex...

    But will "bridged" support dynamic VLANs and PEF?

    Or does it just bridge one SSID to a fixed VLAN?

    It just bridges an SSID to a fixed VLAN.  It is not recommended:
