Mobility anchor-control path down

[abinaya.2.r]

Hi, I have an DMZ WLC- 5508 and internal foreign WLC cisco flex 7500 .

I configured  mobility anchor between these two WLC. I get data path as up and control path to be down.

Also between these WLC s firewall is not there.

Please help.

Hi

If your anchor WLC is in a DMZ then you must have something filtering traffic, otherwise it is not a DMZ. Aside from that, try to mping and eping from one wlc to another. If ping fail review the config following some Cisco guide and make sure you really don't any filter out there.

The wlan_id or guest_lan_id must exist and be disabled, and the anchor_controller_ip_address must be a member of the default mobility group.
Auto-anchor mobility is enabled for the WLAN or wired guest LAN when you configure the first mobility anchor.

Delete a mobility anchor for the WLAN or wired guest LAN by entering one of these commands:
config mobility group anchor delete {wlan | guest-lan} {wlan_id | guest_lan_id} anchor_controller_ip_address
config {wlan | guest-lan} mobility anchor delete {wlan_id | guest_lan_id} anchor_controller_ip_address
Save your settings by entering this command:
save config
See a list and status of controllers configured as mobility anchors for a specific WLAN or wired guest LAN by entering this command:
show mobility anchor {wlan | guest-lan} {wlan_id | guest_lan_id}

The wlan_id and guest_lan_id parameters are optional and constrain the list to the anchors in a particular WLAN or guest LAN. To see all of the mobility anchors on your system, enter the show mobility anchor command.

The Status text box shows one of these values:

UP—The controller is reachable and able to pass data.

CNTRL_PATH_DOWN—The mpings failed. The controller cannot be reached through the control path and is considered failed.

DATA_PATH_DOWN—The epings failed. The controller cannot be reached and is considered failed.

CNTRL_DATA_PATH_DOWN—Both the mpings and epings failed. The controller cannot be reached and is considered failed.
