When configuring high availability on an access point, a network engineer can configure a maximum of two controllers. One serves as the primary controller, and the other serves as the secondary controller.

Access points can be assigned different failover priorities to determine the order in which they will failover in the event of a primary controller failure. An access point with priority 1 is given the highest priority level and is considered critical. This means it will failover before other access points with lower priorities, ensuring that the most critical areas remain covered.

The human body can attenuate a wireless signal by approximately 6 dB. This is due to the water content in the human body, which absorbs and reflects radio frequency signals, leading to a reduction in signal strength as it passes through or around a person. This factor is important to consider in wireless network design, especially in environments with high user density.

 During a client roaming event, the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) is responsible for communicating the new Layer 2 Endpoint ID (EID) mapping of a wireless supplicant to the fabric domain. The WLC acts as a mobility orchestrator within the Cisco Digital Network Architecture (DNA) to ensure seamless roaming and connectivity. References: Designing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (ENWLSD 300-425)

For a cost-effective high availability deployment in a campus enterprise wireless network with three controllers, the N+1 architecture with Stateful Switch Over (SSO) is recommended. This architecture provides redundancy and allows for seamless failover without service interruption, ensuring that the network remains highly available without the need for a one-to-one controller redundancy, which would be less cost-effective

The behavior of guest client sessions in the US being anchored to the WLCs in Europe despite the presence of a local anchor WLC can be explained by the failure and subsequent recovery of the US anchor WLC. During the failure, the guest sessions would have been transferred to the European WLCs. After recovery, if the priority settings were not correctly restored or if the system did not automatically revert back to the local anchor, the sessions would remain anchored to the European WLCs3.

 AP groups allow the engineer to apply different policies for APs in the auditorium versus those in the hallway. RRM (Radio Resource Management) can dynamically adjust the TX power and channel settings to optimize the wireless coverage and capacity.

 When collapsing all controllers to a single cluster in a central location, one must consider the availability of channels across different regions. Regulatory domains vary globally, and certain channels allowed in Europe may not be available or legal in other parts of the world. This can affect the consistency of wireless coverage and performance.

An active ping survey is used to validate network performance by sending and receiving data packets to measure the end-to-end network performance, including latency, packet loss, and throughput. Ekahau site survey tools can perform active ping surveys to test the connectivity and performance of the wireless network, ensuring that it operates as expected and meets the required service levels.
