Uplink preferences and switchingThis topic describes the following procedures:•Enforcing uplinks on page 74•Setting an uplink priority on page 74•Enabling uplink pre-emption on page 75

Enforcing uplinks

The following configuration conditions apply to the uplink enforcement:

•When an uplink is enforced, the AP uses the specified uplink regardless of uplink pre-emption configuration and the current uplink status.

•When an uplink is enforced and multiple Ethernet ports are configured and uplink is enabled on the wired profiles, the AP tries to find an alternate Ethernet link based on the priority configured.

•When no uplink is enforced and pre-emption is not enabled, and if the current uplink fails, the AP tries to find an available uplink based on the priority configured.

•When no uplink is enforced and pre-emption is enabled, and if the current uplink fails, the AP tries to find an available uplink based on the priority configured. If current uplink is active, the AP periodically tries to use a higher priority uplink and switches to the higher priority uplink even if the current uplink is active.

To enforce a specific uplink on an AP:

1.Select Wireless Configuration > System > UPLINK. The Uplink details are displayed.

2.Under Management, select the type of uplink from ENFORCE UPLINK. If Ethernet uplink is selected, the Port field is displayed.

3.Specify the Ethernet interface port number.4.Click OK. The selected uplink is enforced on the AP.
