If your configuration has an internal LMS IP address, remote APs may attempt to switch over to the LMS IP
address, which is not reachable from the Internet. For remote APs, ensure that the LMS IP address in the AP
system profile for the AP group has an externally routable IP address.
Reprovisioning the AP causes it to automatically reboot. The easiest way to provision an AP is to use the
Provisioning page in the WebUI, as described in the following steps:
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Wireless > AP Installation > Provisioning page. Select the remote AP
and click Provision.
2. Under Authentication Method, select IPSec Parameters. Enter the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) Pre-
Shared Key (PSK), username, and password.
The username and password you enter must match the username and password configured on the authentication
server for the remote AP.
3. Under Master Discovery, set the Master IP Address as shown below:
Deployment Scenario Master IP Address Value
Deployment 1 Switch IP address
Deployment 2 Switch public IP address
Deployment 3 Public address of the NAT device to which the switch is connected
The username and password you enter must match the username and password configured on the authentication
server for the remote AP.
4. Under IP Settings, make sure that Obtain IP Address Using DHCP is selected.
5. Click Apply and Reboot.
Secondary Master Switch
The backup Local Mobility Switch (LMS) provides reliability and redundancy; however the functionality of a
backup LMS is initiated only after an AP terminates on a switch successfully and retrieves the configuration. If
the AP boots up and fails to connect to the master switch the AP cannot be managed. To address this AOS-W
6.5.0.0 introduces the secondary master switch feature.
In a scenario where the master switch is not reachable, the AP will try to reach the secondary master switch and
if successful will terminate on the secondary master. The secondary master details are not stored in the system
flash when the AP is deployed for the first time, but only after a successful configuration. An AP can use the
secondary master switch feature after the AP reboots.
If an AP has not been configured to a switch after deployment the secondary master feature will not be applicable.
In the WebUI
To enable the secondary master switch feature:
1. Navigate to Configuration > Advanced services > All Profiles.
2. Click AP > AP System.
