2 AP Management interface WLC 5508 at the same time

[albertofdez]

Good afternoon,

I have a customer that wants a few APs are managed by the interface of management and do join by that interface and another group of APs are managed and do join by another interface configured as "Enable Dynamic AP Management"

is a WLC 5508, i created an interface by checking the option "Enable Dynamic AP Management" but does not work, by the interface of management are recorded without problems.

Is it possible to do this? Are you supported?

I don't know I understand your question properly or not.

I think you want to join APs to management and AP manager interface at same time ?

When you want to allow APs to join on two ports 1(management) & 2 at the same time, then you have use this:
As you must be aware that only one AP manager is allowed per port. So if you leave the Management interface as an AP‐manager and just create one additional AP manager interface, you’ll allow APs to join to either port, but the Management interface will not be able to fail over since that would make two AP managers on the same interface.

Or 

Remove the AP management function from the Management interface and then create two new AP manager interfaces (one for each port).

I want to use the physical port 0 for the interface of management and be able to manage APs and use the physical port 1 to configure a new interface mark the option "Enable Dynamic AP Management" and also be able to manage APs.

And be able to use the 2 interfaces at the same time to manage and join APs, is this possible?

As per my knowledge you cant do this.

To manage on on different port it can possible(last post) but not possible with two interface "Enable Dynamic AP Management" .

You tell me if you can, but you can not with 2 "Enable Dynamic AP Management" interfaces. Then with them if I can?

Bro,

There is only one way and that is to create another interface (AP-Manager).

So:

1. Management interface - port1(act as AP manager interface for port1)

2. AP-Manager interface - port2(it will for port 2)

I cant think any other solution except this.
