AP Master Discovery

    I have a 3600 controller that provides wireless coverage via AP-105's. Lets call this controller 1.

     

    I have an additional 3600 controller that sole purpose is VIA client access. Lets call this controller 2.

     

    The problem I'm having is that whenever an AP reboots there is a chance that they connect to controller 2 instead of the campus AP controller 1. This happens because both controllers are on the same subnet.

     

    My question-  Is there a way to tell controller 2 to not respond to AP requests/associations? My other thought was to reprovision all of the AP's and manually assign the Master Discovery as the IP address of controller 1. Not sure that will work though because I thought the AP first tries to find a controller via broadcast which controller 2 would respond to.

     

    It's an easy fix to just log into controller 2 and reprovision them back to controller 1 but would be nice if controller 2 would just not respond.

     

    Ideas?

     

    Thanks !!!

    Please disable ADP ( Aruba Discovery Protocol ) on controller 2. 

     

    (3600) #configure terminal adp discovery disable
