Controller discovery and teaming
When teaming is active, several configuration scenarios are possible:
 Teamed controllers operating in conjunction with one or more non-teamed
controllers: Set the team as the primary mobility controller. On the other controllers, set
the IP address of primary mobility controller parameter to the team IP address.
 A single team of controllers: Enable the This is the primary mobility controller
option on the team manager.
 Multiple teamed and non-teamed controllers: Set one team as the primary mobility
controller. On the other teams and controllers, set the IP address of primary mobility
controller parameter to the team IP address of the primary mobility controller.
This is the primary mobility controller
Enable this option to designate this controller as the primary mobility controller. The primary
controller is responsible for the coordination and discovery of all other controllers in the
mobility domain.
IP address of primary mobility controller
Enter the IP address of the primary mobility controller.
Controlled AP discovery
Discovery priority of this controller
Discovery priority of controller team
Sets the priority for this controller or team when discovered by a controlled AP. A value of 1
indicates the highest priority. A value of 16 indicates the lowest priority.
If multiple controllers or teams are discovered by a controlled AP, the AP will establish a
control channel with the controller or team that has the highest priority setting first. If that
controller or team is already managing the maximum number of controlled APs, the AP will
choose the controller or team with the next highest priority.
Each controller or team must have a different priority setting, otherwise AP discovery will
fail with the diagnostic Priority conflict. See Viewing all discovered APs on page 6-14.
See Discovery of controllers by controlled APs on page 6-6 for more detailed information on
the discovery process.
Important note when your network also contains controller teams
Non-teamed controllers are always higher priority than controller teams. Therefore, if your
network contains both controller teams and non-teamed controllers, APs first attempt to
establish a secure management tunnel with discovered non-teamed controllers in order of
their discovery priority. Only if all non-teamed controllers are already managing the
maximum number of controlled APs will the AP then consider controller teams in the order
of their priority.
