editable parameters to save or revert.

Configuring redundancy group membership

The redundancy group should be disabled to conduct an Add/Delete operation. There are a
minimum of 2 members needed to comprise a Redundancy Group, including the initiating switch

To configure switch redundancy memberships:

1. Select Services > Redundancy from the main menu tree.

The Redundancy screen displays with the Configuration tab selected.

Adoption capacity in
group

Displays the combined AP adoption capability for each switch radio comprising the
cluster. Compare this value with the adoption capacity on this switch to determine
if the cluster members have adequate adoption capabilities.

Rogue Access Ports in
group

Displays the cumulative number of rogue APs detected by the members of the
group. Compare this value with the number of rogues detected by this AP to
discern whether an abundance of rogues has been located by a particular switch
and thus escalates a security issue with a particular switch.

Radios in group

Displays the combined number (sum) of radios a amongst all the members of the
redundancy group.

Self-healing radios in
group

Displays the number of radios within the cluster that have self-healing capabilities
enabled. Compare this value with the total number of radios within the group to
determine how effectively the radios within the cluster can self-heal if problems
exist.

Mobile Units in group

Displays the combined number of MU associations for the members of the
redundancy group. Compare this number with the number of MUs on this switch to
determine how effectively MU associations are distributed within the cluster.

DHCP Server in Group

Displays the total number of DHCP Servers available for DHCP resources for the
combined cluster membership.

Connectivity Status

Displays the current connectivity status of the cluster membership.

Access Ports on this
switch

Displays the total of the number of Access Ports adopted by this switch.

Adoption capacity on
this switch

Displays the AP adoption capability for this switch. Compare this value with the
adoption capacity for the entire cluster to determine if the cluster members (or this
switch) have adequate adoption capabilities. For information on licensing rules
impacting redundancy group members, see

“Redundancy group license

aggregation rules”

on page 279.

Rogue Access Ports on
this switch

Displays the number of rogue APs detected by this switch. Compare this value with
the cumulative number of rogues detected by the group to discern whether an
abundance of rogues has been located by a particular switch and thus escalates a
security issue.

Radios on this switch

Displays the number of radios used with this switch.

Self-healing radios on
this switch

Displays the number of radios on this switch with self-healing enabled. Compare
this value with the total number of radios within the group to determine how
effectively radios can self-heal if problems exist.

Mobile Units on this
switch

Displays the number of MUs currently associated with the radio(s) used with this
switch. Compare this number with the number of MUs within the group to
determine how effectively MUs are distributed within the cluster.
