Change Cisco WLC 2504 Management Interface IP address

johngreen76

Level 1

I currently have my Cisco WLC on static IP .253 and would like to move to .250. Inside the GUI I can change the IP address under interfaces, but am concerned with the associated APs. When I initially set up the controller and APs I used the CAPWAP command to provision with the WLC.

Is it as simple as changing the interface IP and the APs automatically re-join with the controller? I don't have access to the console port on the APs.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

1.  Change the DHCP Option 43 and DNS settings to the new Management IP Address. 

2.  Configure the new IP address on the Primary Controller on each of the AP.

3.  Change the Management IP address of the controller.

2.  Configure the new IP address on the Primary Controller on each of the AP.

3.  Change the Management IP address of the controller. 

I don't quite understand step 2 -- how would I configure the new IP address on the AP?

  1. Monitor > All APs > Detail. 
  2. Pick an AP of your choice then go High Availability tab. 
  3. Under Primary Controller, enter the new IP address of the new IP address of the controller.  
  4. Do this to all the APs.
