Hey Marc. Thank you for the response. Let me explain the scenario more
detail

I will have to WLAN SSID as below

SSID 1: STUDENT in Wireless VLAN 2. Dynamic Interface created in WLC with
VLAN 2
SSID 2: STAFF in Wireless VLAN 2. Dynamic Interface created in WLC with
VLAN 3

For keeping the Clients associating in either STUDENT or STAFF Wireless
VLAN do I need Trunk to be configured between Layer-3 distribution switch
and Core Switch where WLC is connected. Do the VLAN configured in WLC has
to be pass thru the Link between Core and Distribution by enabling Trunk
link?

The answer will help whoever trying to Install the centralized WLC solution
without HREAP. How Wireless VLAN will work in Routed Campus LAN or WAN link

Thanks

RB
