WLC 4400 and 5500 Fail-over

[ceracaza08]

Can we do the same thing with WCL 4400 and 5500 series for failover? We have 1 existing 4400 WLC and we wanted to purchase another 1 for fail-over as well as backup. But right now, 4400 is EOL already. The only option is to have the 5500 WLC.

So if you do have previous set-up like this, so I would need your inputs.. Otherwise, same as usual, will gonna test to work this out.

You can have both in a primary and backup, but make sure they are on the same code version. I'm assuming that you also have the configuration correct for the two wlc to communicate.

I would put them both on the 7.0.220.0.

Hi Scott,

Just would like to ask some verification from your end. Is NCS a replacement for WCS? or it's just another piece of software that is built from WCS platform?

NCS replaces the WCS.

NCS comes in two "flavours":  VMware and appliance
