Priority Specify the priority of the AC. The AC with a greater number represents a
higher priority to be selected as the master link. The modification of priority will
result in the reconnection of all CAPs in the master link.
Peer Address Specify the address of the peer AC as the standby link. The CAP will get the
peer address when obtaining the IP address from the DHCP server. You should
enable the DHCP service on the AC.
Click Save to complete the configuration.
Note:
• If the priority and peer address are changed, the CAPs in the standby link should be rebooted to make the
settings take eect. To keep the settings of the master link and standby link consistent, please reboot all
the CAPs in the standby link after the modication of the settings.
• ACs used in the dual-link backup should be the same models.
• With the dual-link backup enabled, please ensure the settings of the master AC and standby AC are
consistent.
• When the CAPs switch to the standby link from the master link, the authenticated wireless clients will expire
and be required to re-authenticate.
