Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution

Hello I'm looking for the procedure to follow when changing the management interface on a WLC 5500 with respect to the actions I need to take in Prime 3.2? Thanks in advance.

Please let me clarify, this will be an IP and subnet change on the WLC

I do not think this is possible on PI. When we needed to change the IPs we added the WLC as it was a new Device.

Kenny thanks for your response, we will be adding the controllers as new devices; however before we remove the old devices (same controllers with old subnet/management IP) what is the procedure for example add the new controller IP's SNMP community strings, trap receivers etc. then remove the controllers with the old IP's?

I suggest you do it this way:
1. make a backup of your prime installation
2. you can delete the WLC from prime, that shouldn't affected the APs (although the data for them will not anymore be updated)
3. login directly to the WLC and change the management interface
4. add the WLC in Prime again as a new device
5. Test if everything is still working
