Deployment and Application Considerations

The following configuration guidelines should be observed when deploying fault tolerant access points:

• When this feature is deployed with EAPS access rings, it is strongly recommended that the EAPS health check time is configured to a value that is less than or equal to the ESRP hello time. Current defaults are one second and two seconds for EAPS health check and ESRP hello, respectively.

• All nodes in the control VLAN other than the two VPLS enabled nodes are configured as ESRP-Aware.
