Hi All,

I have 4 Light weight access points and they are associating with WLC at XYZ site but associated WLC found hardware faulty.

I want to joins these AP's  to nearest site WLC for temporary in order to minimize the impact of users..

Could you please guide me how can I perform.

Thanks in advance.

You can configure DHCP option 43 on the AP management subnet DHCP scope to specify the new controller IP address
