Stacked Controller Configuration
A stacked controller configuration can consist of up to three wireless controllers and up to
600 access points.
Note:
If the stack members are on different floors or in different buildings, you
could configure a separate access point profile group for each building or
floor.
To set up a stacked controller configuration:
Step Configuration
1.
On each individual wireless controller that you intend to make a
stack member, configure the system and network settings of the
wireless controller:
1.
Configure the country code of operation.
2.
Configure the time settings.
3.
Configure the IP address of the wireless controller.
4.
Verify that VLAN 1 is set as the management VLAN and is
marked as untagged.
By default, VLAN 1 an untagged management VLAN.
5.
If no network DHCP server is accessible to the access points,
configure the wireless controller's DHCP server.
2.
Configure the master wireless controller and deploy it in the
network.
Configure up to eight access point profile groups, and for each
access point profile in a group, do at least the following:
1.
Configure an SSID for WiFi access.
2.
Configure the network authentication and data encryption.
3.
Assign the VLAN.
4.
If necessary for the selected network authentication option,
configure the authentication server.
