9800 WLC - CLI command for AP Primary controller assignment?

brettlarkins — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 20:23:47 GMT

Been working more and more with the 9800 WLC's recently and starting to get more comfortable with them...

Does anyone know what the equivalent CLI command is in the 9800 WLC for "config ap primary-base WLC03 Cisco_AP_1 192.168.142.12" That was used in the Aireos WLC to assign a primary and secondary WLC to AP's?

Here it is

c9800#ap name <AP_NAME> controller ?
primary Configure primary controller
secondary Configure secondary controller
tertiary Configure tertiary controller

c9800#ap name <AP_NAME> controller primary WLC1 ?
A.B.C.D Primary Controller IPv4 address
X:X:X:X::X Primary Controller IPv6 address
<cr> <cr>

Hi @brettlarkins @Rasika Nayanajith,

Would you expect this also to work if let's say I have a 5508 and 9800 WLC, then I want to revert back to the old controller (5508) joining for this specific AP? I asked this because, I have this setup where I want to test it out using those commands and send it to the AP. First migrate the APs from old controller to the new controller and then what if I want to revert back to the old controller, would I expect this just fine? I'm using static IP addressing for the APs.

You have to get AP names and workout CLI command script in .txt file and then apply it in one go.

Guys, thanks for the help

is there any command to know the current Primary and Secondary Controllers?

I want a show command and not a config command.

Thanks!

You can use below CLI command to remove secondary configs
9800-WLC#ap name <AP_NAME> no controller secondary <WLC_NAME> <WLC_MGT_IP>

Since this is AP specific configuration, you have to issue it for each AP name individually (as Marce1000 responded). However if you have many APs on WLC, you can get filtered output using below.

WLC2#sh ap config general | in AP Name|Primary|Secondary
Cisco AP Name : AP5-C9166
Primary Cisco Controller Name : WLC2
Primary Cisco Controller IP Address : 192.168.130.20
Secondary Cisco Controller Name : WLC1
Secondary Cisco Controller IP Address : 192.168.130.10
