Device HA

10.1 Overview

Device HA is available when the NWA3000-N series AP is in controller mode. Device HA lets a backup NWA3000-N series AP (also in controller mode) automatically take over if the master NWA3000-N series AP fails.

In this example, device B is the backup for device A in the event something happens to it and prevents it from managing the wireless network.

10.1.1What You Can Do in this Chapter

The General screen (Section 10.2 on page 129) configures device HA global settings, and displays the status of each interface monitored by device HA.

The Active-Passive Mode screens (Section 10.3 on page 131) use active- passive mode device HA. You can configure general active-passive mode device HA settings, view and manage the list of monitored interfaces, and synchronize backup NWA3000-N series APs.
