3850's using WLC 2504 as a guest anchor

[hardiei1970]

Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to use a WLC2504 as a guest anchor when we have deployed 3850's for regular corporate WLAN?

The corporate stuff is all up and running OK using 3850's but i've now to come to look at the guest provisioning and i'd like it to terminate on a guest anchor in the DMZ if possible, just wondering if it's possible to do this with that setup?

Thanks,

Ian.

Hi Ian,

You cannot use 2504 as Guest Anchor for 3850 WLC. It has to be 5760/5508/WiSM2 at the moment.

This may be useful when you configuring this guest anchor solution with a 5508 as Anchor

Thanks Rasika,

Do you know if it's possible to keep the 3850's as MC and MA's and deploy a 5760/5508/WiSM2 as just a guest anchor.

The guide you linked to refers to deploying the 3850 as MA only with an additional controller as the MC.

btw just used your blog to help design and deploy our converged access using the 3850's - great work! Thanks.

Yes, this is possible & what I have done in my production network (5760 as MC & Guest Anchor where 3850 as MA). In your case you can have 3850 MC/MA while 5508 as Guest Anchor.

Good to see my blog helps you & thanks for the comment.
