    How many virtual-ap profiles that have forward-mode bridge configured can be placed in a ap-group ?
    I'm only interested in bridging traffic to two separate VLANs for now , but the customer may ask for more.

    You can have a maximum of 16 VAPs per AP Group. However that being said you do not want to broadcast more than 3 or 4 VAPs per AP. Each VAP functions in the same manner as a physical AP (so RF overhead is increased each time an additional VAP is added).

    And to add to that, bridge mode SSIDs on controller APs are deprecated and unsupported on over 30 APs in an L2 domain. If you want to break out traffic local at the AP, the Instant Architecture may be a better choice.

    I’m still not clear as to how many L2 domains I can bridge per AP ?

    At this time I only need to bridge to VLANs per AP on 10 APs

    They are controller based APs and have 4 other VAPs in the ap-group

    Is Adding two bridge mode VAPs to this ap-group supported ?

    AP type is AP-315

    Yes, you can have 8 SSIDs/virtual-APs per radio.
