Manage Stacking and Redundancy

ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC9500

The settings, including the nonconfigurable fields, are described in the following table.

Setting Description

Controller Role This is a nonconfigurable field that shows if the primary controller functions as a

master or slave controller in the stack for which you are configuring

redundancy.

Controller IP This is a nonconfigurable field that shows the IP address of the primary

controller

. If a failover occurs, this IP address transfers to the redundant

controller.

VRRP ID [1-255] For each primary controller in the redundancy group, enter a number from

through 255 as the VRRP ID.

This enables each primary controller to

maintain a unique relationship with the redundant controller.

Local IP For each primary controller in the redundancy group, enter a local IP address. If

a failover occurs, this IP address remains assigned to the primary controller

and does

not transfer to the redundant controller to let you identify the primary

controller before and after the failover

WARNING:

Enabling redundancy causes the wireless controller to reboot,

which might temporarily affect traffic on the managed access

points in the network.

9. Click the Apply button.

The changes are saved.

11. Click the Refresh button.
