Configure Device Redirection

You can configure an adoption rule that redirects devices to another appliance when matching criteria are met.

Note

AP39xx access points do not support adoption rule redirection where the redirected destination is defined as an FQDN. AP39xx only supports a redirected destination that is defined as an IPv4 address.

Go to Configure > Adoption > Add.
The New Rule dialog displays.
Select the device type:
- To create a rule for access point adoption, select AP.
- To create a rule for switch adoption, select Switch.
From the Action field, select Redirect.
The IP Address field is displayed.
Provide the IP address of the destination ExtremeCloud IQ Controller.
Select a filter parameter, and then select .

Note

Devices that match filter criteria on a redirect action do not connect to ExtremeCloud IQ Controller initially. They are redirected to another ExtremeCloud IQ Controller. If the destination ExtremeCloud IQ Controller contains adoption rules with filter criteria that match the redirected devices, the devices are adopted by the destination ExtremeCloud IQ Controller. You must configure adoption rules on the second appliance as a separate action from the redirection. Adoption to the second appliance is not included in the redirect action.
