Master-Local Wfs709Tp Redundancy - NETGEAR ProSafe WFS709TP Software Administration Manual

3. Enter the parameters shown in
recommended:
• Priority: Set the "initially preferred" master to 110 and set the backup master to 100.
• Enable pre-emption.
• Configure master up time or master state tracking with an add value of 20.
4. Configure the values in the respective fields, then click Done to enter the values.
5. Click Apply to apply the configuration and add the VRRP instance.
6. Associate the VRRP instance with the master WFS709TP redundancy (see
Table 11-2. VRRP Associations

7. Configure the APs to terminate their tunnels on the Virtual IP address. See
on page 10-3.
Note: All the APs and local WFS709TPs in the network should be configured with
the VIP address as the master IP address.
The master IP address is configured for local WFS709TPs during the initial setup of the switch.
You can also change the master IP address configured on the local WFS709TP in the
Configuration > Advanced > Switch > General page in the browser interface.
The WFS709TP requires a reboot after you change the master IP of the WFS709TP.
If Domain Name Service (DNS) resolution is the chosen mechanism for the APs to discover their
master WFS709TP, ensure that the name "netgear-master" resolves to the same VIP address
configured as a part of the master redundancy.

Master-Local WFS709TP Redundancy

This section outlines the concepts behind a redundancy solution where a master can act as a
backup for one or more local WFS709TPs, and shows how to configure the WFS709TPs for such
a redundant solution. In this solution, the local WFS709TPs act as the switches for the APs. When
