Wireless Access

Hello everyone,

I currently have one 7205 MC at version 8.9 with plans to order another one shortly. Although we don't have a big network (30 APs), we need to add some sort of HA to the network due to the type of industry we are supporting.

From my understanding, the HA (Configuration --> Redundancy) is the legacy method and clustering is the preferred method. After reading some documentation and watching some videos, the HA method looked simple enough. I noticed though on our controller running 8.9 that under Configuration --> Redundancy, it mentions "Conductor Redundancy" instead of "Master Redundancy" as shown in the documentation and videos. Does this mean we would need an Aruba Mobility Conductor to use this feature? Or is just updated wording?

In the ArubaOS 8.9.0 user guide, it mentions that clustering is only supported on the Mobility Conductor.

My question is, can I do any sort of HA or Clustering with just 2 x standalone 7205s?

Thank you very much.
