Hi Cisco Team,

I am replacing my core infrastructure and I am migrating from the 6500 WISM to a couple of WLC 5520.  My plan is to a)connect each one to each peer or b) make them HA mode acting as a single device.  One 5520 will be on the second floor of the building while the second one will be on the 6th floor.  Can you please share with me the best option and best practice and any initial configuration guidance or best practice.  The new core environment is a couple of 7710 which I am running using a vPC domain with standard configurations.

Thank you very much,

[Hilda Arteaga]
