Cisco WLC "AP Fallback" Gone Wonky?

Hello from snowy Syracuse. For the Cisco WLANers in the group: Adding a new 8510 HA Pair to an existing large environment. The 8510s are up with management addresses, and AP fallback is disabled. Basically, these are controllers that are being configured as time allows and so need to be on the

I don't know how an 8510 UI looks but in 5508's you have an option under security AP Policies. Accept Manufactured Installed Certificate (MIC)? Authorize MIC APs against auth-list or AAA We use these settings in our whole network to keep AP's from just being able to willingly join any Contro

Good Morning Lee, Is AP Failover configured on each of the APs that moved? Is AP Fallback enabled on the production and disabled on the new? Is the 8510 already a member of the mobility group? If yes to each of these, I would assume that the APs moved for some reason, maybe a small drop in the n

One more for the group: Having a large number of 5508s, I have an interest in greatly simplifying the environment by moving to higher capacity 8510s (zero interest in 5760s). I'm hoping to hear from those that have taken the 8510 plunge. For us, outside of code issues, the 5508s have been solid

So far for us, I the benefits outweigh the risks. In our case, when we failed one route engine the 8510s simply failed over to the HA box and there was no perceivable degradation in the user experience. Our issues with using Layer-2 for the HA only occurred if BOTH of our upstream switches had

Lee, We have been using the HA 8510's since August. Early adopted 8.0 moved to 8.1 and have had no issues thus far with roughly 1000 AP's. We still have some 5508's for housing and auxiliaries. The addition of 10gig ports on the 8510's really helped on high volume. We took a look at the bowing afte

Matt, You mentioned "10 min for full HA convergence" which seems long. But then again, we've also seen a consistent issue where during an HA event the configs are reported as "out of sync" and the secondary controller has to reboot, sometimes more than once to re-sync. My current theory is that v

Lee, any time. Kitri, the 10 minute time for a failure event to be triggered, the HA to become the primary, and the "failed" controller to come back up to a full Hot Standby has been consistent. We've seen that the secondary controller has to reboot between two and three times before we have f
