Roaming between WLC and vWLC on different code versions

Brian O'Flynn
Level 1
Level 1

Hi,

I have the following setup in our environment, a HA 5508 pair running 7.4.100 and a vWLC running 7.6.130.  I have mobility setup between the two with the control and data path up and running.  All the access points are setup for FlexConnect.

When I join an SSID using PSK on an AP associated with the vWLC and then roam to an AP on the 5508, I drop a few pings but stay connected no problem.  However when I join an SSID using PEAP (both WLC's using Radius to Cisco ISE 1.2 for this) and repeat the test, my client actually drops my wireless connection and then rejoins.

Is this expected behaviour when running controllers on different versions?  This is only temporary until I upgrade the 5508 pair.

 

Cheers

Brian

This is normal unless you implement some sort of fast roaming so the client and ap isn't performing the whole EAPOL process. Take a look at this link: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless-mobility/wireless-lan-wlan/116493-technote-technology-00.html -Scott

Perfect, thank you Scott.

Oh... Forgot.  With FlexConnect, you also want to create FlexConnect Groups.  See this link:
