Is that a temporary condition until DHCP completes?

All off the same SSID.

That works well if you want to continue to broadcast the same ssid over all of campus. Not sure if Cisco does anything similar. We have multiple profiles here (per building) all using the same ssid but depending on what AP you associate to you will get assigned that profile which has the vlan assignment.

I've been looking for alternative to create another ssid and associate it to another different subnet but I can't find any related to. Our wireless lan is currently reaching 1000 users or so.I'm not very confortable with the idea of having such number of users in wireless subnet. We have deployed around 60 cisco autonomous acess points throughout the campus and this subnet is firewalled and routed in our core switch which is a hope away to accessing Internet.It's very simple design. What would be a recommended deployment in this case with a growing number of users? Would deploying lwap bring any advantage to this design? We want to keep a single ssid and mobility for wireless users. Would mesh network bring any benefit?
