Hi Experts ,
We have two 5508 WLC with 7.6.130.0 code and 700 AP's in flex connect mode for one SSID.
We have registered 350AP's to WLC1 , and secondary controller as WLC2,
For remaining 350AP's primary as WLC2 and secondary as WLC1. We have done AP level vlan mapping in the flex connect configuration. We dont have any flexconnect group configuration in both controller.
We are having issue like , the AP's flex connect vlan is automatically changing to WLAN interface vlan id when it is failing over to WLC2 , and even after the AP is came back to WLC1 the vlan is still WLANs interface.
So , is it necessary to configure flexconnect group in both WLC's to avoid this issue?
Thanks,
Vijay.

Vijay,
Do the controller configuration in both WLCs are equals about parameters like WLAN id, ap groups and etc?
Because if the WLAN id are different you can lose the VLAN mapping when the AP migrate from one WLC to another.
About FlexConnect Group, it helps so much when you need to apply vlan mapping in the WLAN in FlexConnect APs, because FlexConnect group configuration you can maps the WLAN id in some VLAN and all APs that you add in this flexconnect group will get this configuration without the necessity to access each AP and map VLANs individually, because all APs inside this flexconnect group will get the VLAN information in that WLAN id.
But when you create the FlexConnectGroup is important to add the same group in both wlcs and add the APs mac address in both WLCs FlexConnect Group, because when one access point associates to WLC01 it receives a FlexConnectGroup configuration and when go to the WLC02 it needs to receive the same configuration.

I hope it helps.

We are having same WLAN configuration in both WLC including wlanid. Weare not having any flexconnect group configuration in both WLC. TAC has suggested to do the flexconnect group config in both wlc
