Access Point ZoneDirector Discovery with SmartRedundancy

Question

Hello,i have SmartRedundancy running with two ZD1200.If i use my DHCP with Option 43 to let my Access Points discover there Controller in a remote site do i have to provide both IPs of my Controllers? Same Question if i use DNS for Discovery. Two DNS Entries needed or is DNS Discovery not reccomendet for a SmartRedundancy Config?Thanks.Kind RegardsMarco

when SR is in use, AP's know about their active and standby controller hence no need for seperate entries anywhere else as far as i know...

Thanks!So in Case i provide just the IP from my Active ZD with DHCP Option 43 or DNS, i won't be able to provision a new AP. The new AP just know the IP from my active ZD. I have understood correctly?If this is the case, i think this is a behavior i can live with that.

you can chk the same by runnning a 'get director ip' command on AP managed by a controller in SR mode...
