Thread: More Wireless controller broke down at one time.

I am utilizing 3 unlike controller with dissimilar kinds of model, capacity, edition and configurations. Also I had buy latest controller which is having affirm for APs. Suppose WLC_A is having capacity of 25 APs and gives 20 APs, WLC_B is having capacity for 12 APs and it caters 12APs. WLC_C is having affirm for 50 but it is catering only 30APs. The latest controller which I have bight say WLC_NEW is having affirm for 100 and 18 APs are catered by it. what will I require if three of former controllers are failover to the WLC_NEW?

After going to the trouble of yours I required to tell you that you should test out with the unlike profile name with the SSID with the unlike types of the protection applied.


To do the similar you will require to take care of the next thing.You have to make alone name for the each and all WLAN.As there are more WLAN with similar SSID with the similar amount of AP radio than you should have alone Layer 2 security policy . this detail thing will assist the clients to take unlike WLAN.

In order to handle with failover WLC into the similar build and similar config.. you will require to have few particular configuration for all one AP into unlike WLC. Also you can give a test out to with the unlike kind of AP-groups.

If you are encountered with the AP failover then the customers will obtain the IP address from the various WLAN port into the latest WLC who are joining. I required to recognize whether you are having simialr vlan with the unlike kind of the IP address. vlan 40 into wlc_A with the single ip range and vlan 40 into the wlc_new will have the totally unlike latest IP range.

You are utterly right I am having similar VLAN 40 but the IP range is unlike and unlike part of the network which is traversing via the WAN. Also if I am not fault I require to have the similar edition of the OS for WLC, am I correct????

You will require to upgrade or downgrade your AP dependent on the WLC which you are guessed to connect. If an AP is imagined to transfer towards the unlike WLC then entire the users are supposed to obtain the latest ip address from the area where the WLC is residing. The IP address of the users will not stay as it is.For eg when a user is guessed to roam from one WLC to the another then it will break down and it will take more of time to permit the SSID. Why this is happening since you have alter the protection method. You cannot use the unlike type of the protection profiles on the one client.
