WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch Software Administration Manual

any one of the local WFS709TPs becomes unavailable, the master takes over the APs controlled by that local WFS709TP for the time that the local WFS709TP remains unavailable. When the local WFS709TP comes back again, it resumes control over the APs.

This type of redundant solution is illustrated by Figure 11-2.

Note: This solution requires that the master WFS709TP have Layer 2 connectivity to all the local WFS709TPs.

Figure 11-2

In the network shown in Figure 11-2, the master WFS709TP is connected to the local WFS709TPs on VLANs 1, 2… n respectively through a Layer 2 network. To configure redundancy, configure VRRP instances on each of the VLANs between the master and the respective local WFS709TP. The VRRP instance on the local WFS709TP is configured with a higher priority to ensure that when it is available, the APs always choose the local WFS709TP to terminate their tunnels.

To configure the master and local WFS709TPs for such a topology:

1.Configure the interface on the master WFS709TP to be a trunk port with 1, 2… n being member VLANs.

2.Collect the following data:

•VLAN IDs on the WFS709TP corresponding to the VLANs 1, 2…n shown in the topology above
