Configuring Backup Controllers (GUI)
Using the controller GUI, follow these steps to configure primary, secondary, and tertiary controllers for a
specific mesh access point and to configure primary and secondary backup controllers for all mesh access
points:
Step 1
Choose Wireless > Access Points > Global Configuration to open the Global Configuration page (see Figure 46: Global
Configuration Page, on page 106).
Figure 46: Global Configuration Page
The fast heartbeat timer is not supported on mesh access
points.
Note
Step 2
In the AP Primary Discovery Timeout field, enter a value between 30 and 3600 seconds (inclusive) to configure the
access point primary discovery request timer. The default value is 120 seconds.
Step 3
If you want to specify a primary backup controller for all access points, specify the IP address of the primary backup
controller in the Back-up Primary Controller IP Address field and the name of the controller in the Back-up Primary
Controller Name field.
The default value for the IP address is 0.0.0.0, which disables the primary backup controller.Note
