WLC (5508, 5520, 3504) HA SSO

[kiranshivaramaiah]

When the WLC switches over only the Root Access Points (RAP) are staying in the network. The Mesh Access Points (MAP) dropoff the network and then join back. Is this an actual behavior? or the RAPs and MAPs should seamlessly join to the new Primary WLC after switchover without dropping?

Can anyone help me understand this?

I think its a normal behave.

When WLCs are in SSO:

From version 7.5: only RAP are supported , for MAPs the state is not synched.
