No the controllers do not need to see each other.
Same ports as normal operation:
Between an AP and the controller:
|
|
PAPI (UDP port 8211). If the AP uses DNS to discover the LMS controller, the AP first attempts to connect to the master controller. (Also allow DNS (UDP port 53) traffic from the AP to the DNS server.) |
|
|
PAPI (UDP port 8211). All APs running as Air Monitors (AMs) require a permanent PAPI connection to the master controller. |
|
|
TFTP (UDP port 69) all APs, if there is no local image on the AP (for example, a new AP) the AP will use TFTP to retrieve the initial image. |
|
|
Control Plane Security (CPSec) uses UDP port 4500 |

Also, do the Primary zone controller and Data zone controller do they need to see each other?
From AP connecting to Primary zone controller what ports need to be allowed to connect to datazone controller?

Multizone can be used with standalone controllers. Mobility Conductor/Master is not required.
"A zone is merely a collection of mobility controllers (MCs) under a single administrative domain. A zone can consist of a standalone 8.x MC, or a Mobility Master and its associated managed devices."

Subject: Multizone Design question
Hi,
I just wanted to ask a question with regards to MultiZone. I would like to have the primary zone as a standalone controller and I would like to have the data zone to a controller managed by an MM. Is this possible? Is multi zone supported in this way?
I am asking this question as I have only seen it the other way around where the primary zone is managed by an MM and the datazone is managed by a standalone.
If so, Do both controllers need to see each other? What traffic do I need to allow between both controllers?
What ports do I need to have open so the AP can connect to the DZ controller?
Thanks,
