DHCP service on an elected AP7622 Virtual Controller

[theciscokid99]

We are currently working with a customer that has an AP7522 network with a virtual controller (on an access point). The VC is running a DHCP server for the WLAN clients. We decided to enable the "Elected" Virtual Controller for high availability. After we moved to the "elected" VC and configured an additional static IP address, we cannot get the VC to hand out DHCP addresses. The DHCP server is configured and enable at the AP profile. I've been able to recreate this same issue on my access points.

My customer is on 5.9.2.5
My system is on version 5.9.3.1

Because the VC will migrated between APs, So every AP should config a static SVI ip manually or  device override, is that right?

Any possible to config multiple SVI static IP on profile and migrate them accompany with the VC role migration?

For example, when AP-A was VC and act as dhcp server, have been lease some IPs to clients, when AP-A down, and AP-B was elected as the new VC, any possible to migrate the AP-A’s SVI IP and dhcp lease db to AP-B automatically?

Static IP's on the SVI's did solve the problem. I had another error on my DHCP config that was causing an issue.

I did have a static IP on the SVI of the original VC but not the other AP's. I added static IP's to the other AP's and still no change. Wireless client associate and come up with a 169.x.x.x address. If I connect the AP's to a network with DHCP available, the wireless clients will associate pull IP's from that DHCP server.

DHCP service will not work without assigning a static IP address to SVI of the desired AP.
Example:
interface VLAN 10
ip address 10.10.10.1/24
