Deploying Additional Member Access Points
Deploying additional member APs is
simply a matter of connecting them by way of Ethernet to the same Layer 2 network
and providing
power. The additional member APs discover the Master AP and join automatically. No
additional
steps are necessary.
A second AP and any additional APs that join the RUCKUS Unleashed network automatically assume the role of "member AP." Thereafter, if the Master AP goes offline, one of the member APs becomes the new Master and assumes control of the network.
Note: When a member AP joins the Master for the
first time, but is running a different firmware version than the Master AP, the member
AP
automatically downloads and upgrades (or downgrades) to the correct firmware version
to
match the Master AP. After the matching firmware is running, the member AP reboots
and
rejoins the network.
