Section 4 - Using the AP Array
Situations Encountered with the Different Implementations:
Multiple Master APs: If there are two or more Master APs assigned in an array, the AP with the longest run-time will become the
Master AP.
Note: The other Master APs will become Backup Master APs.
Manually Configured Slave AP: At intervals of one minute, the Master AP will send out a beacon to check the status of the Slave APs.
If any changes are done to the slave APs manually, the Master AP will automatically synchronize its configuration to the slave AP and
overwrite it.
Master AP Crashed: In a situation where the Master AP becomes unavailable to the array, the Backup Master AP will take over the
Master role and synchronize the configuration to the Slave APs.
No Backup Master AP Available: If the Master AP crashes and there are only Slave APs in the array, the Slave APs will work as
stand-alone APs until a new Master joins the array. The administrator may want to configure two Master APs for the array, so that there
is always a Backup Master AP available.
