Redundancy in this model is handled via Master redundancy, with both controllers acting as a Master
Mobility Controller. One controller will be in standby, and should be deployed such that it is not
serviced by the same power and data connections as the primary Master. Both Mobility controllers are
typically deployed in the same data center. As with the Small Network Deployment, the Management
and Aggregation layer are coresident in the same production controllers.

The typical controllers that would be selected for this type of deployment are the MMC-6000 series
controllers or the Multiservice Module embedded in the MMC-6000 chassis based controller. The
chassis approach offers the advantage of redundant power supplies for greater reliability. The choice
should be made based on the size of the network and the expected growth patterns.

Branch Office Deployment
Many large organizations have remote sites that do not have a local IT staff. It is common that such
locations have high bandwidth, high availability links that exist to a central data center. For these
deployments, wireless redundancy is typically handled across the WAN link to the central data center
instead of placing a redundant controller onsite. There may be some type of on-demand backup
connectivity in the event of a primary WAN link failure.

The recommended reference architecture for this deployment model would include a single Local
Controller that is deployed at each site, with the Master Controller in the central data center acting as
the redundant controller. This redundancy model is termed “N+1” because the central controller is
intended to provide continuity for the failure of just a few remote controllers at any given time. It
requires that APs do not receive power via PoE from the Local Controller and that the Local Controller
is not the default gateway for the local site.

is not the default gateway for the local site.
The Master Controller is the backup for all Local controllers, and it should be scaled such that a number
of sites could potentially encounter issues and remain operational with APs terminating on the Master
Controller. The Master must be licensed according to the maximum number of APs and users expected
to fail over at any one time. The Master Controller should be deployed in a redundant pair at the central
data center to ensure availability. The Management and Aggregation layers are coresident in the data
center controllers.
