Backup

RUCKUS Network Director offers a comprehensive Backup solution (DB replication) with near real-time database sync up between ND instances. This ensures the uptime of ND by replicating the data to another RND instance with config sync up (auto and manual), including all configurations, registration rules, stats, logs, and so on.

You can configure active RND instances across different datacenters (Active/Standby) model. If the primary system (Leader) goes down, the operational availability of RND will be maintained by failing over to the secondary system (Follower), which is equipped with a copy of the database. The automatic configuration synchronization between the Leader and Follower RND instances happens every 24 hours at 00:00 hrs. You can manually perform the configuration sync up any time by clicking the Sync Now icon .

The AP management license count must be equal to or greater than the combined RND managed AP networks. That is, if the managed SZ clusters have 100,000 APs, the Leader and Follower RND instances must have 100,000 AP management licenses each.
