Hello, regarding a situation where you have multiple VLANs allocated to multiple wireless SSIDs. The traffic is received on a particular SSID and sent to the wireless controller which categorizes the traffic with vlan tags based on the the SSID that the traffic came in on.
The controller then sends the traffic back onto the network across a trunk link with the appropriate VLAN tag.
I understand this process and see it is called a "lightweight WAP configuration".
My question is, is there a "heavyweight WAP" option, where it is the access point (multiple SSID WAP) that does the VLAN tagging according to the SSID it came in on. This access point is connected to the switch across a trunk. In this configuration the wireless controller is only used for config and control of the WAPS, while the VLAN/SSID match-up and tagging is done by the WAP. Is this sort of config ever used in addition to the first one I outlined ?

Thanks for any info.
