Availability Pairs Information

If deploying controllers in availability pairs, determine the interface over which the availability link is established. Manually enable the service on both controllers, or run the Availability Wizard to be guided through the steps necessary to enable paired availability between two controllers. Both controllers are automatically configured.

Optionally, you can select whether the availability configuration is to be set to use standard or fast failover operations. If fast-failover is enabled, session-availability is automatically enabled.

You are given the choice to enable automatic configuration synchronization. Once enabled, a modification to service configuration on one controller (such as WLAN services, topologies, and policies) is automatically coordinated and synchronized with the peer. You may be requested to provide information details pertaining to the representation of the entity on the other controller, such as the IP address (layer 3 configuration) of the interface on the other controller.

Note

Note

Automatic synchronization is strongly recommended when either fast-failover or session-availability is enabled.
