Weāve got a new deployment of (8) 8533 APās and (8) 7632 APās. Weād like to set up two of the 8533ās as redundant virtual controllers (like a typical āclusterā of vx9000ās or older WM3600ās). I canāt seem to find any way to do this officially and Iām wondering if itās only possible via the CLI (or if itās possible at all). Iāve only done this once before on a full blown controller. If it is possible, can it be done in the UI? Are there any gotchaās to look out for?
Thanks
Eric

Hello Rick,
You can have all of the AP8533s in the same AP Profile and instead of using static IP addressing on VLAN 67 and use DHCP (possibly reservations). Have the AP76xx in their own AP Profile and I would disable rf-domain capable on this AP profile.
When you configure auto-elect VC feature for the AP8533s, you can use the ,21 as the virtual IP and whatever AP is the VC at the time you try to access .21, only that AP will respond. This way you do not need to keep track of what AP is the VC.

Hello Rick,
I would bypass the install wizard and configure the VC interfaces at device level. You will need to perform the same for the AP profiles.
The following is CLI syntax, after successful login on VC:
enable [enter]
self [enter]
interface vlan 67 [enter]
ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yy [enter] (x represents ip address and y represent subnet)
exit [enter]
interface ge1 [enter]
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk native vlan 67
no switchport trunk native tagged
switchport trunk allowed vlan 60,67-68
exit [enter]
commit write [enter]
You will want to remove VLAN 1 reference on the AP profiles.

Just went through the docs. Very helpful. Still, seem to have problems in our vlan / trunking config. Is anyone able to provide a suggestion for the steps to make this work:
If we leave all of the AP wizard settings as V1 (doesnāt matter, since weāre untagged on the adoption network anyway), it works - I just have a pet peeve when it comes to the actual vlan being different. Perhaps the wizard is just kind of funky when setting up non default vlans?
