Switch Over Managed APs and External DPs
5.1 Update - reused across platforms
Switchover helps move APs / external DPs between clusters that are not confined to
cluster, which enable cluster redundancy. For normal clusters you can switchover APs
regardless of staging zone with firmware version 5.0 or later and external DPs with
version 5.1 or later. For a standby cluster in cluster redundancy, APs in Staging
Zone can only be moved to another cluster by switchover. You can switch over per AP
or APs per Zone. However, you can switch over only per data plane.
Switch Over APs (per Zone)
Note: This feature is applicable only for vSZ-H
platforms.
Note: Refer to RUCKUS SmartZone Controller
Administration Guide for additional information about cluster redundancy
and cluster redundancy roles such as Active, Standby, and other rules to
apply.
- From the Access Points page, select the Zone.
- Click More and select Switch Over Clusters. The Switchover Cluster dialog appears.
- Choose the Target Cluster:
- Predefined Destination: Available only when "Active-Active" mode cluster redundancy is enabled. Choose the Cluster Name of the switchover target from the list of target active clusters. The Control IPv4 List and Control IPv6 List is displayed.
- Custom Destination: Enter the Control IP/FQDN of the switchover target cluster .
- To delete the AP record after triggering a switchover, enable the Delete selected Access Point after switchover option.
- Click OK, you have set all APs to disconnect from current cluster then connect to target cluster.
