Backup anchor

Hi,

We have two Datacenters in our network , both are controlled by different firewalls. We are planning to deploy an additonal anchor in the second datacenter.

How traffic is load balanced from corporate controller to anchor. Is it per user based or per packet based?. We are afraid of causing asymmetric traffic flow via firewall, that may lead to packet drops.

If its per packet based, it will defintely cause packet drops.

thanks,

Redundant anchors are per user load balanced. So there won't be asymmetric traffic flow.

When a foriegn WLAN is anchored to 2 anchor controllers. There is a round robin going on.

User 1 goes to anchor DC 1

User 2 goes to anchor DC 2

User 3 goes to acnhor DC 1

User 4 goes to anchor DC 2
