DHCP to local firewall not working with controller across ipsec

DHCP to local firewall not working with controller across ipsec

We have a WM3600 and several AP4600’s at the location where the controller resides I have vlan’s set up that are working and I can pull DHCP from my local PFsense firewall for each of the vlan’s.  

The issue is I have 5 other geographically different locations that are connected by an IPSEC tunnel. I am trying to set the AP’s up at those locations, but I can only reach vlan1. I have set up separate vlans at those locations, but I can’t get the AP’s to pull dhcp from those local firewalls vlan’s. I have added vlan tags to all the ethernet ports of the ap’s.

Do I have to use the controller to make these AP4600’s work? I know this stuff is all old, but I really want to get these networks separated.

Hi,

I am not too clear about the topology for your remote APs.  

On the remote sites you only have Firewalls and APs?

The remote Firewalls have the DHCP scopes defined for the VLANs on that site?

How is the IPSEC tunnel created? are you using APs and controller to do it or is there a separate VPN gear that is taking care of the IPSEC?

May be you can share a diagram and config if possible. 

Regards,
