So if they were assigned by names...lets say...WLC1 (primary) and WLC2
(secondary).  How would I use DNS entries to transition them?

You should be assigning the WLC controller names in the LWAPP AP
configuration using their system name. You can use DNS entries to make
the transition easier. Do not use IP addresses though. As long as the AP
can join one controller, and that controller is in the same mobility
group as all the other controllers, the AP will be able to download the
controller list during its first join. I normally prefer to use DHCP +
Options for LWAPP assignment and controller configuratios. Makes setup
and changes much easier. YMMV

Greetings!



So I'm running into a issue where I've configured a bunch of Cisco
LWAPPs.  The idea was to statically assign the IP address and to which
Controller (Primary/Secondary) the LWAPP would join.



Everything worked fine.  No issues.



A couple days later I found out that the WLC Management + AP Manager
subnets would have to change.  Since the LWAPPs are configured
statically to look for and join on a specific subnet that doesn't exist,
whats the simplest way to tell these LWAPPs (that are statically
configured) to find the new WLC IP address?



Thanks!!!
