Cisco WLC Monitoring – Best Way to Monitor Individual APs on Cisco 5508 WLC

I don't have anything on 7.2 still so I can't give you a definitive answer on your question. However, what I can say is that if you take the letter of the documentation as law and presume that you cannot combine FlexConnect and Local ACLs on a single WLAN, and you really don't want to create multiple WLANs, what I know you can do is use central switching on FlexConnect APs to apply local ACLs.

We actually do this for our Web Authenticated guest network. Yes, traffic on this network must transit back to the location of the WLC, but it was the best solution for us at the time of implementation.

Use a script to login to the WLC and run the transfer command: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/6.0/command/reference/cli60.html#wp1327209

You can use this to upload the config from the WLC to another server via TFTP/SFTP/FTP.
