I would plug two wlcs into one core and make them redundant by clustering them.
To make something redundant you would need to have two devices sitting in front of a subnet and if one device fails, the other would take over. In this situation, since there is no shared subnet on the network between cores, you would need to choose one.
If you plugged a wlc into one core and the other wlc into another core, when the clients on the access points flip to the second wlc during an event the clients would have to switch subnets which would not be seamless.

Hi,
I don't have layer2 connection between core . but I have layer 3 connection between core .
I can form HA between controller (Master Standby ) using VRRP.
Now the issue ,there is no point of connecting wlc to core 2 because core 2 does not know the vlan created in core 1
Please advise
Thanks

If the cores do not share a network, you cannot make this redundant, because a controller can only have a single management ip address.

What are you trying to make redundant? The WLC or the Core?

Hi,
I don't have L2 adjacency between core because the connection between core is layer 3.
All the access switches are connected using layer 3 to core
At this point if I connect (L2 )the wlc to both core , I have to create SVI'S only on one core . this will be a single point of failure
Or I have another option , that is to create svi's on wlc. is it recommeded creating svi's on wlc ?
Please help
Thanks
