WLC 8500
Hey All,
Regarding the ports in Cisco WLC 8500,sir Ronnie has mentioned that 2x 10gig ports can be aggregated and connected to a nexus or catalyst switch. If so , how will i connect the AP to the WLC, if i aggregate both ports, i think i will not be able to connect to the central switch that has all the AP's connected to it.
With Regards
You would connect the AP to the same vlan on the switch that the WLC is also connected to. Unless you're trying to directly connect a single AP to the WLC. If that is what you're trying to do, then I cannot do the aggregation.
Here's a link: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/8500-series-wireless-controllers/113695-8500-dg-00.html
The very last paragraph
Link Aggregation (LAG)
LAG across the 2x10G interfaces is supported in software versions 7.4 and later. The LAG configuration allows for an active-active link operation with fast failover link redundancy.Note: The additional active 10G link does not change the total controller network throughput.
Cordially,
