I currently have a standalone Aruba 3600 controller sitting at our Data Center that all of our Aruba RAP-155s connect up to. The profile is just set up for an LMS1. We bought a second controller controller for failover which we would like to just configure as a second LMS (no VRRP necessary). Right now the standalone controller has one physical interface going to the internal network and one going to the DMZ. It also has a public IP on the firewall natted to the controller IP.
I have not connected the new controller up. It's going to sit on the same subnet at the data center. I got a new public IP on the firewall natted to an unused IP on the same subnet just like before. I also have a new interface mirroring the configurations of the existing interfaces on the internal and DMZ switches the standalone is connected to. Lastly, I got an unused IP for the guest VLAN for the captive portal to connect to.
Since it's on the same subnet, can I just copy the standalone configuration, change the name and IP information, cable up the controller and syncronize in a master/local setup? Then add the second IP under the profile for LMS2?
I just want to make sure there isn't any pieces I am missing.
Thanks in advance everyone!
