Does vWLC support for new mobility ?

Rasika Nayanajith — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 06:57:22 GMT

To test the CA mobility, I have configured mobility between vWLC (running on 7.6.100.0) & a 5760. I can see UDP 16666/16667 port communication between the two controllers (vWLC - 10.129.0.7, 5760-10.160.49.1), but still control path is down.

HI Rasika,

First of all congrats for becoming Cisco designated VIP 2014.

I am not sure is this right answer of ur question ....

I think u must have seen this :

Features Not Supported on Cisco Virtual WLCs with 7.6 Relase.

• Internal DHCP server

• TrustSec SXP

• Access points in local mode

• Mobility/Guest Anchor

• Multicast

• IPv6

• High Availability

• PMIPv6

• WGB

• VideoStream

• Outdoor mesh access points

Thanks Sandeep,

I think that says vWLC cannot be a Mobility Anchor for guest termination.

I just simply want to see how this new mobility configured controller communicate back to 5760. Since I do not have test 5508 I have configured it on vWLC,but could not get it working.

Rasika

sandeep is correct about the Release note.

currently, new mobility is supported on 2500, 5500 and wism2 only. even if it works on other wlc, that is not cisco supported. check new mobility section under mobility group on config guide.

on enabling new mobility in legacy WLCs, eping will disappear and cping will emerge.

Rasika Nayanajith — Tue, 14 Jan 2014 17:52:12 GMT

So I have to get one of those controller to test this out

Anyway thanks for confirmation Saravanan.

Noticed CSCum54193 recently created, may be after this thread. Here is the summary

Symptom:

vwlc 7.6 does not support MC . although it can be configured

Conditions:

configure Mobility on VWLC

Workaround:

do not configure mobility on VWLC
