Onboarding a Dual-Node Cluster for High Availability

This task describes creating a two-node, high-availability RUCKUS Edge cluster in RUCKUS One.
Prior to performing this procedure, you must have already configured the Venue with which this cluster will be associated. You must also have two RUCKUS Edge devices installed and ready for onboarding to RUCKUS One.
Create a dual-node Edge cluster as follows:
  1. Log in to the RUCKUS One web user interface with your credentials.
  2. On the RUCKUS One navigation bar, click RUCKUS Edge.
    This displays the RUCKUS Edge page.
  3. In the RUCKUS Edge page, click Add and select Cluster. This displays the Add Cluster page.

    Add Cluster

  4. In the Add Cluster page, enter the following details:
    • Venue: Click the drop-down arrow to select a site for the new cluster.
    • Cluster Name: Enter a meaningful name for the cluster profile.
    • Description: Enter a purposeful statement for the device.
  5. In the RUCKUS Edges section, define two Edge devices as two nodes are required to establish a complete cluster. Enter the name and serial number of the first Edge device in the available fields. Add a second Edge device in the same manner by clicking the Add another RUCKUS Edge option.
    • RUCKUS Edge Name: Enter a meaningful name for the nodes.
    • Serial Number: Enter the serial number of the Edge device. You can obtain the serial number by logging in to the Edge CLI or by looking at the label on the physical Edge device.
    • Model: After the serial number is entered, the model name is displayed automatically.
    To delete a RUCKUS Edge device, click on the Delete icon adjacent to the RUCKUS Edge entry.

    Adding a Dual Node Cluster

    Note: The one-time-password (OTP) is automatically sent to your email address or through the SMS for verification when you add a virtual Edge node (each Edge added as part of the Add Cluster receives an OTP for verification). The password expires in 10 minutes, and you must complete the authentication process before the OTP expires; otherwise you have to request a new OTP.
  6. Click Add.
    This displays the newly added Cluster and Nodes in the RUCKUS Edge screen.

    Node Status

    Note: After the nodes are added to the venue and onboarded, the Node Status is Needs port config.
