hwc_controlleravailmobility.fm Availability, mobility, and controller functionality Availability overview The availability feature links two HiPath Wireless Controllers as a pair, to share information about their Wireless APs. If one controller fails, its Wireless APs are allowed to connect to the backup controller. The second HiPath Wireless Controller provides the wireless network and a pre-assigned VNS for the Wireless AP.
hwc_controlleravailmobility.fm Availability, mobility, and controller functionality Availability overview 7.1.1 Availability prerequisites Before you begin, ensure you have completed the following: • Choose the primary and secondary HiPath Wireless Controllers. • Verify the network accessibility for the TCP/IP connection between the two controllers. The availability link is established as a TCP session on port 13907.
hwc_controlleravailmobility.fm Availability, mobility, and controller functionality Availability overview 5. On each HiPath Wireless Controller, on the Access Approval page, check the status of the Wireless APs and approve any APs that should be connected to that controller. System AP defaults can be used to assign a group of VNSs to the foreign APs: • If the APs are not yet known to the system, the AP will be initially configured according to AP default settings.
hwc_controlleravailmobility.fm Availability, mobility, and controller functionality Availability overview 3. To enable availability, select the Paired option. 4. Do one of the following: • For a primary controller, in the Wireless Controller IP Address box, type the IP address of the physical port of the secondary HiPath Wireless Controller. This IP address must be on a routable subnet between the two HiPath Wireless Controllers.
hwc_controlleravailmobility.fm Availability, mobility, and controller functionality Availability overview checkbox selected, and the second controller has this checkbox cleared, since improper configuration of this option will result in incorrect network configuration. 6.
hwc_controlleravailmobility.fm Availability, mobility, and controller functionality Availability overview 7.1.3 Viewing SLP activity In normal operations, the primary HiPath Wireless Controller registers as an SLP service called ac_manager. The controller service directs the Wireless APs to the appropriate HiPath Wireless Controller. During an outage, if the remaining HiPath Wireless Controller is the secondary controller, It registers as the SLP service ru_manager. To view SLP activity: 1.
hwc_controlleravailmobility.fm Availability, mobility, and controller functionality Availability overview After the Wireless AP on the failed HiPath Wireless Controller loses its connection, it will try to connect to all enabled interfaces on both controllers without rebooting. If the Wireless AP is unsuccessful, it will begin the discovery process. If the Wireless AP is not successful in connecting to the HiPath Wireless Controller after five minutes of attempting, the Wireless AP will reboot.
hwc_controlleravailmobility.fm Availability, mobility, and controller functionality Mobility manager When the failed HiPath Wireless Controller recovers, each HiPath Wireless Controller in the pair goes back to normal mode. They exchange information that includes the latest lists of registered Wireless APs. The administrator must release the Wireless APs manually on the second HiPath Wireless Controller, so that they may re-register with their home HiPath Wireless Controller.
