WLC 5508

[manoj.kumar0074]

Hi all,

I want some information about WLC setup.

I had wlc5508 with 12 LAP and it's working fine, but Now I want to purchase another WLC 5508 for redundant purpose.

If my older wlc failed then the new one will take care all the AP.

So can any one suggest me how to configure this type of topology and any docs.

Mobility and mobility groups are used for the wireless users roaming. What we know that a wireless users can roam between different APs within the same WLC, but when the SSID is used within multiple WLCs, and the client wanted to roam to an AP joined to another WLC, you would need to configure WLC mobility to maintain seamless roaming. For more info:

 Now, I understand that your purpose is to have high availability for your APs. No this is done traditionally from the AP page, under HA tab, where you configure the WLCs names and IPs there. This can be done manually on each AP (you can use CLI to make it easier) or you can push a configuration template using a management server (WCS/NCS/CPI).

Configuring HA on the AP:

Using CPI to push AP configuration templates:

Now mobility may play a role in this, as if you have already configured mobility for your WLCs, then you won't need to configure a "name" for the WLCs when you add them under the HA tab in AP configuration page.
