The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The N+1 HA feature set within the Cisco Unified Wireless Network (CUWN) framework allows a single WLC to be used as a backup WLC for N primary controllers. (See Figure 1-1.) Earlier than release 7.4, the N+1 HA model requires a permanent AP count license on the backup controller. With Release 7.4 and later, an HA-SKU secondary controller can be used as the backup controller for multiple primary controllers. The overall goal for the addition of N+1 HA with HA-SKU is to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) for geographically separate HA deployments across the WAN link.
