Configuring switch redundancy & clustering

3. To enable Dynamic AP Load Balancing check the Enable Dynamic AP Load Balancing box and

configure the parameters below:

4. Once Dynamic Load Balancing parameters are set, click the Dynamic AP LB Now button to run

Dynamic AP Load Balancing.

5. Managing clustering in the Web UI is done through the Cluster GUI feature. Check the Enable

Cluster GUI checkbox to enable this feature. The Cluster GUI feature updates many key screens
in the Web UI allowing you to see APs and MUs managed by all active members of a cluster.

6. Refer to the History field to view the current state of the redundancy group.

7. Click Apply to save any changes to the screen. Navigating away from the screen without

clicking the Apply button results in all the changes on the screen being discarded.

8. Click the Revert button to undo the changes to the screen and revert to the last saved

configuration.

Reviewing redundancy status

The switch is capable of displaying the status of the collective membership of the cluster. Use this
information to assess the overall health and performance of the group.

NOTE

When ETH2 of one of the group members is unplugged, the other members report that this member
as gone, but an AP will continue to be adopted by the switch with no ETH2 connectivity.

To configure switch redundancy memberships:

Runtime/Schedule

Select Runtime or Schedule to determine when load balancing will run. If Runtime
is selected, load balancing will initiate anytime a new active switch is added to the
redundancy group. If Schedule is selected you can configure a start date and time
to execute load balancing. This feature is not available when Dynamic Load
Balancing is enabled.

Start Date

If Schedule is selected as the load balancing mode, enter a start date for load
balancing to take place.

Start Time

If Schedule is selected as the load balancing mode, enter a start time for load
balancing to take place.

Interval

If Schedule is selected as the load balancing mode, enter an interval (in days) for
how often load balancing should take place. The valid range is between 1 and 366
days.

MU Threshold

The MU threshold specifies the number of minimum number of active MUs on an
AP to stop the AP from resetting for load balancing.

State

Displays the new state (status) of the redundancy group after a Trigger event has
occurred.

Time

Displays the Timestamp (time zone specific) when the state change occurred.

Trigger

Displays the event causing the redundancy group state change on the switch.

Description

Displays a redundancy event description defining the redundancy group state
change on the switch. Typical states include Redundancy Disabled or Redundancy
Enabled.
