5-38 Motorola RF Switch System Reference
5.4.2 Reviewing Redundancy Status
The switch is capable of displaying the status of the collective membership of the cluster. Use this
information to assess the overall health and performance of the group.
To configure switch redundancy memberships:
1. Select Services > Redundancy from the main menu tree.
The Redundancy screen displays with the Configuration tab selected.
2. Select the Status tab.
3. Refer to the Status field to assess the current state of the redundancy group.
NOTE: When ETH2 of one of the group members is unplugged, the other members report
that this member as gone, but an AP will continue to be adopted by the switch with no
ETH2 connectivity.
Protocol Version The Protocol Version is one of the parameters used to determine whether two
peers can form a group. The Protocol Version should be set to an identical value
for each switch in the redundancy group.
Redundancy state is Displays the state of the redundancy group. When the redundancy feature is
disabled, the state is “Disabled.” When enabled, it goes to a “Startup” state. From
“Startup” it goes to a “Discovery” state immediately if the STP convergence is not
enabled. Otherwise, it remains in “Startup” for a period of 50 seconds (the
standard STP convergence time). During the discover state, the switch exchanges
heartbeats and update messages to discover other members and define the
redundancy group license. After discerning memberships, it moves to an Active
state. There is no difference in state execution for Primary and Standby modes.
