Figure 25: Failover Mode GUI
The failover mode has only read permission on the configuration and very limited options, users still can
reboot other slave Access points in case it is needed.
Users also can press on « Switch to master » button in order to set the failover slave as the new primary
master of the wireless network, once this is done they have full write permission control over the web GUI
option as usual.
Master Transfer
Users could easily transfer the master control functionality to one of the slaves by pressing the button
next to the designated slaved access point.
This can be useful for example when the admin wants to do some maintenance or change the original
master unit, thus keeping all the configuration and sending all control to a new unit before removing the old
one.
During the transfer process the master will send all configuration files to the designated slave while taking
into consideration validation between the two devices for more security, once the slave completes copying
the files it will send notification to the original master which will become a slave if it is an access point or
reset itself if it’s a GWN7000 router.
Note: the master transfer feature relies on some master failover functions and it is recommended to have
all access points on firmware version 1.0.5.14 or higher in order to have the process or transfer working
properly.
