I have 4 different subnets where our couple dozen lightweight WAPs (cisco 1242s) live. They all connect to a CIsco 4400 wireless controller. However, when I define each of the four WLANs (each connects to a different logical interface) I want to use the same SSID so users can roam. No, says my controller, WLANs must have either different SSIDs or different authorization methods.
OK, so say they are different. How do I configure a client so it can roam? I obviously have to set it to connect to a particular SSID. I could put in 4 different wireless connections on the client which will work correctly to get them on the network in each location. But how will they roam?
I was assured that having the controller was going to allow roaming across vlans. But how is such a scheme set up?
[And before you mention having the same vlan all over campus, we route (Layer 3) between closets so no vlan can span everywhere.]
