    I need information about  fail process and how many time the client will be out when the virtual controller go down.

    Tks

    Anecdotally, the iAP listen for heartbeats from one another and when one (or more) is missed from the VC, the remaining iAP hold an election and a new VC rises.

     

    My users have never noticed any outage or failure during such an election, and in lab we tried to create a loss of service, and were only able to when we simultaneously shut off several iAP. The outage was most likely due to the client having to search for a new AP rather than due to VC migration.
