4. If managed APs are able to connect to one of the IP address specified for Cluster B, they fail
over to Cluster B. Then, they apply the registration rules that have been configured for Cluster
B and renew their certificates.
NOTE: The second cluster to which APs fail over must have sufficient license seats to
accommodate the new APs that it will be managing. If the second cluster has insufficient
license seats, the failover will be unsuccessful.
After the APs apply the registration rules and renew their certificates, the failover process is
complete. These APs will continue to be managed by the failover cluster until you restore them
to the original cluster (rehome) manually.
Rehoming Managed APs
Rehoming is the process of returning the APs that have failed over to the second cluster back
to their original cluster (once it becomes available). Rehoming must be done manually. APs that
have failed over will continue to be managed by the failover cluster until you rehome them.
Rehoming APs must be done on a per-zone basis. Follow these steps to rehome managed APs
to the original cluster.
1. Go to Configuration > AP Zones.
2. From the AP Zone List, click the AP zone name that you want to rehome.
The AP Zone Configuration Details page appears.
3. Click the Switchover Cluster button.
The Switchover Cluster dialog box appears.
4. From the drop-down menu, select the cluster to which you want the AP zone to switch over
(for example, the original cluster to which APs in this zone belonged).
5. Click Apply.
You have completed rehoming the APs in the zone.
Configuring Network Management
This section covers:
Configuring the SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 Agents
The controller supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP v2 and v3), which
allows you to query controller information, such as system status, AP list, AP zones, etc., and
to set a number of system settings using a Network Management System (NMS) or SNMP MIB
browser.
You can also enable SNMP traps to receive immediate notifications for possible AP and system
issues.
The procedure for enabling the internal SNMP agents depends on whether your network is using
SNMPv2 or SNMPv3. SNMPv3 mainly provides security enhancements over the earlier version,
and therefore requires you to enter authorization passwords and encryption settings, instead of
simple clear text community strings.
