Problem configuring mobility group

Tyrone Van Der Haar — Sat, 03 Jul 2021 23:43:50 GMT

Hi, I'm trying to configure a mobility group between 4 WLC's. 2 of 4 form a group and those two are the two on the same cards.

The two cards are on separate subnets and each have are connected to a FW. I've opened up for UDP12222-12223 UDP16666-16667 protocol 50 and protocol 97

any other ideas?

What do you mean by "Cards"? Are these WiSM blades, or are they WLC modules on an ISR?

Have you added the other controllers to each controller's list of mobility group controllers?

Is both the control path and data path down? Do an mping from the two wlcs, if the mping fails then UDP 16666 & 16667 (if using secure mobility) are blocked. If eping fails between the two, then IP 97 is blocked. These are all you need to configure mobility between a FW. Make sure the mac address, IP address and mobility group name are correct on the mobility group configuration.

I think he is referring to the WiSM's. One WiSM in a chassis is in one mobility group and the other WiSM is in another and separated by a FW???

I Think that is what he meant.

Yes these are WiSM blades!

10 and 15 are on the same subnet and the same wism

42 and 47 are on the same subnet and the same wism

mping and eping only works from those that are "UP"

Looks like you configuration of your mobility group is wrong.... WiSM (10/15) is not going through a FW and the mobiliity is not up. Make sure you either have Symetric tunneling enabled on all or disabled. Can you post your show run-config?

Now I got the wism 10/15 to form a mobility group, I found a static route in the running config of the wism.

How would I get the others up or how can I troubleshoot some more?
