how does the traffic of each SSID reach the 802.3 network?

When using multiple SSIDs on a lightweight AP, how does the traffic of each SSID reach the 802.3
network?

When using multiple SSIDs on a lightweight AP, how does the traffic of each SSID reach the 802.3
network?

A.
provide routing between them at the core so that the SSIDs can reach the internet

B.
configure 802.11q trunking on the Ethernet switch port that is connected to the AP

C.
configure ACLs at the switch port that will allow all desired SSIDs to pass traffic

D.
configure the SSIDs on the WLC and it will regulate the traffic based on traffic type

trunk
=======================

When an AP joins a controller it creates an LWAPP tunnel adjacency (if your are on 5.2 code, it’s a CAPWAP tunnel). Like most tunnels, all your traffic is aggregated within the tunnel itself.

So your vlans, qos, ssids, and traffic transverse the LWAPP tunnel, so there is no need to config the access switch with a trunk.

Your aps dont attach to the manager interface, but rather to the AP manager. I forget what code version the ap manager goes away, but you get the point.
