Configuring redundancy settings
To configure switch redundancy:
1. Select Services > Redundancy from the main menu tree.
The Redundancy screen displays with the Configuration tab selected.
NOTE
MUs on an independent WLAN will not see any disruptions on a switch fail-over.
2. Refer to the Configuration field to define the following:
Enable Redundancy Select this checkbox to enable/disable clustering. Clustering must be disabled to
set a redundancy related parameter. All the modifiable values are grayed out if
enabled
Redundancy Switch IP Define the destination IP address used to send heartbeats and update messages.
Mode A member can be in either in Primary or Standby mode. In the redundancy group,
all ‘Active’ members adopt Access Ports except the ‘Standby’ members who adopt
Access Ports only when an ‘Active’ member has failed or sees an access-port not
adopted by a switch.
Redundancy ID Define an ID for the cluster group. All the switches configured in the cluster should
have the same Cluster ID. The valid range is 1-65535.
Discovery Period Use the Discovery Period to configure a cluster member discovery interval. During
the discovery time, a switch discovers the existence of other switches within the
redundancy group. Configure an interval between 10 and 60 seconds. The default
value is 30 seconds.
