Using Limited ZD Discovery for N+1 Redundancy

ZoneDirector's Smart Redundancy feature (see
used with two ZoneDirectors of the same model and license number. If you want to deploy one
ZoneDirector as a backup controller for multiple primary controllers (for example, using a
ZD3000 as a backup for several ZD1100s in remote locations), you can use Limited ZD Discovery
to achieve limited N+1 redundancy.
NOTE: Using Limited ZD Discovery for redundancy purposes does not synchronize the user
database, guest database or DPSKs.
To deploy multiple ZoneDirectors in a limited redundancy configuration
1. On each primary ZoneDirector, go to Configure > Access Points > Access Point Policies
and locate the Limited ZD Discovery section.
2. Activate the check box next to Only connect to the following ZoneDirector.
3. Enter the IP address of the primary ZoneDirector (the one you are currently configuring) in
Primary ZoneDirector Addr.
4. Enter the IP address of the backup ZoneDirector in Secondary ZoneDirector Addr.
5. (Optional) Enable the check box next to Prefer Primary ZD. This ensures that the AP will
revert to its primary controller after connection to the primary has been restored.
6. Click Apply to save your changes.
