Configuring WLANs

Configuring Access Point Groups

In a typical deployment, all users on a WLAN are mapped to a single interface on the controller.
Therefore, all users associated with that WLAN are on the same subnet or VLAN. However, you can
override this default WLAN setting to distribute the load among several interfaces or to group users based
on specific criteria such as individual departments (for example, marketing) by creating access point
groups (formerly known as site-specific VLANs). Additionally, these access point groups can be
configured in separate VLANs to simplify network administration as illustrated in the example in
Figure
The required access control list (ACL) must be defined on the router that serves the VLAN or subnet.
Note
Multicast traffic is not supported when access point group VLANs are configured.
