3.6.4.1 Secondary AP Controller
The secondary AP controller is simply a backup of the primary AP controller. It takes over the management of APs covered by the primary controller AP as soon as the secondary controller AP fails to detect the primary AP controller’s presence. This happens when the primary controller AP is disconnected from the network, rebooting or turned off.
Note: While the primary controller AP is online, the secondary controller AP cannot configure any of the managed APs. However, it still has to be turned on to synchronize with the primary controller AP’s latest settings.
1To set your NWA in secondary controller AP mode, open the Controller > Redundacy screen (this screen only appears when the NWA is in Controller AP mode) in the Web Configurator of the NWA that you want to serve as backup.
