Hello,
I am starting to deploy 2 same VMs of 9800-CL WLCs version 17.3.5b (because we have 3702i/e APs) on HyperV server.
They are working good while there is network activity, but after a while of idling the network times out.
When it's configured on Trunk mode it's very slow to wake up and it's faster when it's configured on access.
Have you ever faced this issue ? I've never seen that and I admit that's very uncommon.
Thanks by advance for your help.

- Great to see informative feedback from WirelessAnalyzer , in fact the idea is to use this tool every 2 months for instance (more or less) , because it will or can also give feedback on changes observed in the RF environment.

- Unfortunately for HyperV support you need at least 17.1.x or above.

Hi Marce,
Actually that's the case, I installed 17.3.5b.
FYI I haven't configured any wireless settings for now, and haven't added any AP yet, I want to have this issue solved before.

Ok sorry you mentionned 17.1.x on you previous answer.
So no luck to be helped I assume.
You suggest to install rather on VMWare ?

- I need to apologize on this , after scrutinized research I found that the hyper-v support starts from 17.1 , indeed :
Ref : https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/9800/17-1/release-notes/rn-17-1-9800.html
>...Microsoft Hyper-V Support for Catalyst 9800-CL Wireless Controller: Starting with this release, you can install Catalyst 9800 Cloud Wireless Controller in a Microsoft Hyper-V environment. For more information, see Installing the Controller in Microsoft Hyper-V Hypervisor chapter.
Returning to your original problem, start with a checkup of the 9800-CL configuration , for that use the CLI command : show tech wireless , have the output analyzed by https://cway.cisco.com/

No problem Marce ! I’m relieved to be honest
I have used this debug process, that is something awesome from Cisco ! And I was able to find this recommendation, that seems corresponding to our issue :
So I have used these 2 commands on one of the WLCs :
WLC(config)# service tcp-keepalives-in
WLC(config)# service tcp-keepalives-out
I will see if it’s improving anything !
Many thanks for your help, I will keep you posted

Hi Marce,
FYI we have moved the VMs to another HyperV host and since it seems we don't see any timeout more.
