4402-25 and 5508-25 fault tollerance?

[lukeprimm]

We have a Cisco 4402-25 running software version 7.0.98 and we are interested in getting a new 5508 controller.  My question is can I load balance between these two or can one act as a master and the other a slave?  Thanks

The most common scenario people have done is set the AP to join WLC 1 as a primary controller and set WLC 2 as a secondary controller.  Cisco has recommended (or admitted) that inter-controller roaming should be avoided at all cost.

Inter-controller roaming, still at it's "infancy" stage since 3.X, is still being perfected.

Hope this helps.
