Hi guys out there,
I have some confusion about the realtionship over here. For example, for a site we have 4 APs connected to one switch. The WLC is also connected to the same switch. Physically, the APs has seperate connection to each port. So , does the WLC. Based on that, i just wanted an explanation about if a WLC goes down(due to power or hung), will the other Access point be down as well? Or will they able to stay up but not functioning. I have came across two different scenarios over here:
Scenario 1:
The site WLC is bad. However, the APs were up when we replaced the WLC. The clients were able to work. I believe the HREAP configuration enabled it to work. Please correct me if im wrong.
Scenario 2:
The WLC got hung. Thes rest of the LAP at site were also hard down. The site support only rebooted the WLC and the AP were back up.
I can't really relate how this happened. The AP mode was HREAP as well.
If anyone has any idea/suggestion to explain this, it would be very much helpful.
Thank you..
