Re-elect Controller

About this task

Use the Tunnel Controller Re-election screen to identity available access point resources within a selected RF Domain and optionally make some, or all, of the Access Points available to initiate tunnel connections

Note

Take care when selecting access points for controller re-election, as client connections may be broken on upon re-election. Ensure an elected access point's client load can be compensated by another access point in the same RF Domain.

To re-elect controller adoption resources for tunnel establishment:

Procedure

Select Operations.
Ensure a RF Domain is selected from the Operations menu on the top, left-hand, side of the screen. Otherwise, the Re-elect Controller screen cannot be located, as it does not display at either the system or device levels of the hierarchal tree.
Select the Re-elect Controller tab.

Note

The Re-elect Controller tab is only available at the RF Domain level of the UI‘s hierarchal tree and is not available for individual controllers, service platforms and Access Points.

The Tunnel Controller Re-election screen diplays.
Refer to the Available APs column, and use the > button to move the selected access point into the list of Selected APs available for RF Domain Manager candidacy. Use the >> button to move all listed access points into the Selected APs table.

The re-election process can be achieved through the selection of an individual access point, or through the selection of several access points with a specific Tunnel Controller Name matching the selected access points.
Select Re-elect to designate the Selected AP(s) as resources capable of tunnel establishment.
