Failover Master
In a Master-Slave architecture, having a backup Master is critical for redundancy and failover function, thus,
and in order to avoid a single point of failure in your wireless network, you can specify a slave AP as failover
master. Whenever it detects the master is down, it will promote itself as failover master within a time frame
of around 20~30 minutes by entering failover mode. After then, if the master AP comes back, failover master
will automatically go back to slave mode, or if the master doesn’t come back to alive, Administrator can
login using “failover” account to turn the failover master as true master and take over all controls.
Figure 24: Failover Master
Users could select the failover Master by following below steps:
• Log into web GUI of the master GWN.
• Go to Access Points page.
• Press
• Select from the available paired Slave Aps the candidate to become a failover Master.
• Save and Apply the settings.
Failover Mode
Once failover slave has been selected, the primary master will send the configuration of the network to the
failover slave and the slave will start monitoring the status of the primary master to detect any failure for
any reason (network connection loss, power outage).
In case of failure, the failover slave will promote itself to a temporary backup master while waiting for the
primary master to come back.
During the failover mode users could access the web GUI of the failover slave using a special failover
account with same admin password.
