ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC9500

Stacking Concepts

The wireless controller supports stacking of up to three units for management of up to

600 access points through purchased licensing (see Licenses on page 23).

In a stack, one wireless controller functions as the master controller, and the other two

wireless controllers function as slave controllers.

The following figure shows a stacked configuration in which you can manage up to

600 access points:

200 AP license

Master controller

Slave controller

Figure 12. Stacking configuration

The wireless controllers that you intend to make members of the stack must be connected

over a wired connection. A switch or router can be located between the wireless controllers

that are part of a stack.

The following procedure described the high-level configuration steps to set up a stack.

 To set up a stack:

1. Configure the master controller, including the system settings, profiles, security settings,

and wireless settings.

2. On each slave controller, configure the system settings only

3. On the master controller, enable stacking and add all slave controllers to the stack.

4. On the master controller, synchronize the configurations to the slave controllers.

The profiles, security settings, wireless settings, administrative user name and password,

and firmware image of the master controller are synchronized to the slave controllers.

The managed AP list of the master controller is not synchronized.

5. On each slave controller, run the Discovery Wizard to discover the access points that the

slave controller must manage and add them to the managed

AP list for the slave controller

After you configure the stack, you can change profiles, security settings, and wireless

settings on the master controller, synchronize these changes with the slave controllers, and

let the slave controllers push the changes to the individual access points that they manage.

For ease of management, you can configure location-based profiles on the master controller

and assign a location to each slave controller.
