Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_Wireless] WB1 question 4.2

Here is my interpretation of things...

The first requirement in that section is as follows.

"For WLC1, create a second interface for access points to use for failover.  
This should be on Port2"

Now this doesn't quite make sense.  Yes we can create an AP manager interface 
and assign it to port 2.  But it's not used solely for failover purposes.  It 
is active and your APs will be load balanced between the management interface 
acting as an AP manager on port 1 and the additional AP manager on port 2.  But 
it does allow failover possibilities.  Except now if port 1 goes down, the 
management interface cannot failover to port 2 since we can only have 1 AP 
manager per interface, and there's already one on port 2.  so failover doesn't 
really work in this configuration.

We have 2 choices really.  And the correct one would require further 
clarification.

option 1

Do not add any new interfaces.  Just configure the management interface and the 
dynamic interfaces to use port 1 as the primary port and port 2 as the backup 
port.  This gives full failover between port 1 and port 2, but we aren't adding 
an interface.

option 2

Create 2 new ap managers.  One assigned to port 1 and 1 as assigned to port 2.  
Remove the dynamic ap management feature from the management interface.  
Configure the management interfaces and dynamic interfaces to use port 1 as 
their primary port and port 2 as their backup port.  Here we retain full 
failover functionality on all interfaces, but we have to create 2 additional 
interfaces.

Hi team,

Question 4.2 task 8 "traffic should failover to port2 on WLC1 if port1 goes 
down"

In solution guide we see that an extra ap-manager interface is created. Instead 
of this extra interface
we can simply define as backup port 2, so if port 1 goes down port 2 will 
handle the traffic for management and the rest dynamic interfaces?

What do I miss??
