Re: WiSM CARD IN ROUTING ENVIRONMENT

it doesn't matter where the LAP's are, they can be few L3 hops away from the controller.

all WLAN VLANs + mgmt VLANs are trunked between one of the two controllers on the WiSM board and the switch. You could L3 terminate those VLANs on the same switch with Layer 3 SVIs, or you could extended those vlans to another switch/router using 802.1q trunks in your network. If you only have Layer 3 connections connected to this switch, then you must create Layer 3 VLANs for your controller management interface and all client WLANs on that switch.
