Note These DHCP relay agent options do not appear for the default VSC. The default VSC uses the
same settings as defined on the Controller >> Network > Address allocation page.
VSC data flow
Each VSC provides a number of configurable options, some of which apply exclusively on
controlled APs or the controller. The following diagrams illustrate how traffic from wireless
users is handled by VSC definitions on a controlled AP and controller, and shows the options
that apply on each device. For more on traffic flow, see Traffic flow for wireless users on
page 7-6.
