How many AP-Manager interfaces can be created when lag is disabled?
But when LAG is disabled, one or more AP-manager interfaces can be created, generally one per physical port. When LAG is enabled—Supports only one AP Manager, which can either be on the management or dynamic interface with AP management.
Can the dynamic interface act as an AP Manager?
The Dynamic Interface tied to a VLAN can act as an AP Manager (when enabled). When you enable LAG, all the ports would lose their AP Manager status and the AP management reverts back onto the Management interface. Port redundancy for the AP-manager interface is not supported.
How do I remove the AP-Manager for a controller configured with IPv6?

What is LAG in AP?
If link aggregation ( LAG) is enabled, there can be only one AP-manager interface. But when LAG is disabled, one or more AP-manager interfaces can be created, generally one per physical port. When LAG is enabled—Supports only one AP Manager, which can either be on the management or dynamic interface with AP management.
Can you map AP manager to backup port?
You cannot map the AP-manager interface to a backup port. It is not possible to have APs and a non-AP-manager interface on the same VLAN. If they are in the same VLAN, the controller will move the traffic up on the incorrect VLAN as the controller gets the CAPWAP discovery on the non-AP-manager interface.
Do you need an AP manager for Cisco 5508?
For Cisco 5508 WLCs, you are not required to configure an AP-manager interface. The management interface acts like an AP-manager interface by default.
Does IPv6 support dynamic AP?
A controller configured with IPv6 does not support Dynamic AP-Manager. By default, the management interface acts like an AP-manager interface. Link Aggregation (LAG) is used for IPv6 AP load balancing.
