Does promiscuous mode on VM adapter needed for VX9000

theoadon — Tue, 25 Sep 2018 17:02:00 GMT

HI there,
We are migrating from RFS6000 to VX9000, an existing WLAN with APs 6521,7522 and 6562.
For adoption all these APs , does promiscuous mode needed on VM adapter or not, and can you please advice for remote sites adoption over Layer 3 , the topology or ports that need to be configured.

Thanks In advance,

Theodore

if you configure a single access interface (management) on the VX 9000 promiscuous mode is not needed.

Thank you for the prompt response, but what if we have 2 VX9000 contollers in cluster mode?

still not needed you will be clustering you should cluster at layer 3. and mint level 2 assuming you have a multi-site deployment

eg if you have adopted aps using mint level 2 the cluster should also be at level 2

We do not support mixed mint links on a controller

set the cluster

cluster name
cluster mode active (default)
cluster member ip
level <1|2>
cluster master-priority 250
cluster force-configured-state
cluster force-configured-statedelay5

to join a cluster login the secondary box

use the join cluster command

join-cluster user password level 2
