Dynamic VLAN assignment using WC7520 controller
Hi,
I've been using a few WNDAP360 AP's for a while and consider adding a WC7520 controller.
However, I would like to use dynamic VLAN assignment using a RADIUS server.
Whereas this is possible with the 360 in stand-alone mode, it is unclear to me whether this can be done using the WC7520 controller.
The (outdated?) reference manual does not say a word about it...
Is there anyone to share experiences with the 7520 and this type of configuration?
Hi
Thanks for your help!
After reading the articles you suggested, I was still unable to find a definite answer, so I asked the pre-sales support and got quickly the following answer from Level 2 Tech Support:
There was a feature request to ask to implement this, however it looks like it will not be implemented for the WC7520. There is also a feature request for the WC7600 which does look more promising, but still not possible currently and is not guaranteed to be implemented.
In short: No, it isn't possible, won't be on the WC7520, and might become so on the WC7600.Too bad, and it makes the WC7520 much less interesting for me, but at least this has been made clear quickly.

Hi Arcesilaus,
Welcome to the community! :)
I have not yet tried to set up like the ones you have described, however, let me share these articles below and it might help as reference guides:
WC7520: External authentication using LDAP with Active Directory
WC7520: RADIUS configuration with Microsoft Windows Server 2012R2 Network Policy Server
Hope it helps :)
