11-4 Configuring Redundancy
v1.0, June 2007
4. Configure the values in the respective fields and click Done to enter the values.
5. Click Apply to apply the configuration and add the VRRP instance.
6. Configure the APs to terminate their tunnels on the Virtual IP address. “Configuring APs” on
page 10-3.
Master WFS709TP Redundancy
The master WFS709TP acts as a single point of configuration for global policies such as
authentication parameters and RF configuration to ease the configuration and maintenance of a
wireless network. It also maintains a database related to the wireless network that is used to make
both automated and manual adjustments in reaction to events that cause a change in the
environment (such as an AP becoming unavailable). The master WFS709TP is also responsible for
providing the configuration for any AP to complete its boot process. If the master becomes
unavailable, the network continues to run without any interruption. However any change in the
network topology or configuration will require the availability of the master WFS709TP.
To maintain a highly redundant network, the administrator can use another WFS709TP to act as a
hot standby for the master WFS709TP. The underlying protocol used is also VRRP.
To configure master WFS709TP redundancy:
1. Collect the following data:
• VLAN ID on the two WFS709TPs that are on the same layer 2 network and will be used
to configure VRRP
• Virtual IP address that has been reserved to be used for the VRRP instance
2. Navigate to the Configuration > Advanced> Switch > General > VRRP page on the browser
interface for each of the master WFS709TPs. Click Add to create a VRRP instance.
Admin State Administrative state of the VRRP
instance.
To start the VRRP instance,
change the admin state to UP.
VLAN VLAN on which the VRRP protocol
will run.
Configure this to be the VLAN ID.
Note: This command must be executed on the master WFS709TP, as only the master
WFS709TP controls all APs in the network.
