Anchor mobility not working

srosenthal — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 19:48:32 GMT

I have a new 3504 WLC that I am using as my anchor controller with a 5520 as my foreign controller. The 5520 is using version 8.2 and the anchor controller is using version 8.10. The data path is coming up but the control path is not. I can eping the anchor but I cannot mping the anchor.

I believe I have the FW configured correctly

I can't find a matrix that says if the version are or not compatible so I am not sure if that is the problem or not.

Any suggestions?

The matrix below doesn't seem to list 8.10

Just to add, since it’s new, why not just downgrade to match the firmware you are running on the 5520’s. That seems to be best way to see if your FW is configured correctly because you just eliminated the variables of firmware compatibility.

@Mark Elsen

Shouldn't he be able to use classic mobility instead of new-mobility? The document there states that "new-mobility" support was ended in 8.5, but I think classic one should continue to work.

New mobility was for converge access if I recall. This is the matrix I use, but it still seems that since the product is new, just downgrade and test.
