AP Auto Rehome
In an Active-Active cluster redundancy environment, clusters are usually deployed at different geographical locations. When the source active cluster fails, APs seamlessly failover to a target active cluster and remain operational. If the target cluster fails for any reason, the APs may fail back to the source active cluster (if it is in-service); otherwise, the APs failover to another target active cluster. However, instead of waiting for another failover scenario or manually rehoming individual APs, the AP Auto Rehome functionality automatically rehomes the APs to the source active cluster. You can enable AP Auto Rehome and configure the primary cluster and fallback attempt interval from the SmartZone web interface. When the feature is enabled, APs being managed by a target active cluster will periodically check availability of the source active cluster and automatically rehome.
Complete the following steps to apply the AP Auto Rehome configuration on an AP zone.
- From the menu, click .
- Select the zone that is created in the Active-Active cluster redundancy mode, and click the Edit option. To configure a cluster in Active-Active mode, refer to RUCKUS SmartZone Controller Administration Guide.
- Under General Options, for AP Auto Rehome, click the Enable AP automatically call home to its primary cluster to toggle the switch to ON.
- For Primary Cluster, select the primary cluster from the list of active clusters.
- For Failback Attempt Interval, select the time interval from the list. This is the time interval to trigger the AP Auto Rehome configuration on the primary cluster.
- Click OK.
