Configuring the Failover Mode

By default, fast-failover is enabled on the device.

Note: You must configure the same Failover Mode setting on both cluster devices.

To change the failover mode, enter the following commands.

  1. Enter the Global Configuration mode. 
    RUCKUS-1# configure terminal
  2. Configure a cluster name and ID. 
    RUCKUS-1(config)# cluster SW 4000
    If you do not specify a cluster name, the device will automatically generate the cluster name as CLUSTER-X.
  3. If the cluster is in the deploy state, changing the failover mode is not permitted. Use the no deploy command if necessary
    RUCKUS-1(config-cluster-SW)# no deploy
  4. Change the default failover mode (fast-failover). 
    RUCKUS-1(config-cluster-SW)# peer 10.1.1.3 disable-fast-failover
