WLC Failover configuration

gilou_1973 — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 04:26:25 GMT

Hello,

I want to deploy two wlc 5508 running Software Version 7.0.116.0 in failover mode.

I read the documentation and I read that the two wlc must have the same configuration.

I want to be sure that I've well understood.

For all the interfaces, each appliance must have a different IP. I mean if WLC1 have the interface "ap-manager" "management" and "dynamic interfaces" in .1, I suppose that WLC2 should have the same interfaces with .2 IP.

Am I right?

By advance thanks

The 5508 does not have an ap-manager unless you specifiacally create one. I would not create one and use the default management interface.

Yes the WLC's should have the exact same config, except for the interfaces ip address and of course the hostename.

Hostname: WLC1

Management IP: 10.200.100.5

Virtual: 1.1.1.1

Dynamic Interface 1: 10.200.105.5

Dynamic Interface 2: 10.200.110.5

Hostname: WLC2

Management IP: 10.200.100.6

Virtual: 1.1.1.1

Dynamic Interface 1: 10.200.105.6

Dynamic Interface 2: 10.200.110.6

Ok thank you for your quick help.

It wasn't so explicit in the documentation

keep in mind that you need to share a mobility group as well.
