WLC Redundancy after RMA

[berndmueller1]

Hi,

after an RMA i installed a new WLC 5508.

Now i want to pair the new controller with the old one to the HA mode.

The Controllers are in SSO mode.

IP Adressing of both controllers are ok but the Mobility MAC Adress on the new Controller is not right and i can't change it.

How can i pair the both Controllers via CLI or GUI?

You have the flexibility to configure a custom MAC address as Mobility MAC instead of using the default behavior of using the Active WLC MAC address as Mobility MAC. This can be done using the configure redundancy mobilitymac <custom mac address> command on the Active WLC. Once configured, you should use this MAC address on other controllers in order to form a mobility peer instead of using the Active WLC MAC address. This MAC address should be configured before forming the HA pair. Once the HA pair is formed, the Mobility MAC cannot be changed or edited.

You must manually configure the mobility MAC address on the then active controller post switchover, when a peer controller has a controller software release that is prior to Release 7.2.
