WAC-510 VLAN to SSID Association on CIsco RV325
I had been using Cisco APs until I found that a lot of them have a throughput problem. WAC-510 has better throughput and clustering works well for me. Only trouble I've had with it is getting differe...
WAC5xx (WAC510, 505, 540...) all support VLAN<-->SSID mapping.
Most of the time, when we debug clients not getting DHCP. it will normally be due to some conf error upstream.
Coming to your network :
Router==TrunkPort(1,25,100,5,6)====Switch====TrunkPort(1,5,6) === AP ~~~SSID1-VLAN5~~~ Client
Can you check if the DHCP request packets are reaching your router
You can capture packets on the AP, download it to your PC and check the VLAN mapping of DHCP packets.
sameway you can port mirror switch/router and check on that too.
We need to see, if your router did get a DHCP request packet from client and responded. the switch has to tag the response back and send it to AP. then AP will be able deliver it back to the right client on the right SSID.
other basic things:
make sure WAC510 is connected to WAN/PoE ports.
WAC510 is in AP mode.

WAC-510 Access Point
SSID 1 (Windows) --> VLAN 5
SSID 2 (Linux) --> VLAN 6
AP LAN Config
DHCP
Untagged VLAN 1
Management VLAN 1
WAC SSID-VAN config looks OK - works like this in many instances for us. Strange....

VectroThe fine WAC510 documentation does say on p.138:

Change the system mode to Router mode or AP mode
The access point can function in one of the following system modes:- AP. Select the AP radio button to let the access point function with its router
functionality disabled. This is the default setting. When the access point is in AP
mode, connect the WAN PoE port of the access point to your network.,
