Managing Access Points
Reviewing Current Access Point Policies
7. Once all the APs, WLANs, WLAN groups and AP groups have been deployed on the primary
ZoneDirector(s), back up the AP configurations for each primary controller, by going to
Administer > Backup and clicking the Backup button under Back Up Configuration.
NOTE: You should also configure the same exact settings for WLANs, WLAN groups, AP
Groups, Mesh settings and AAA servers on the backup controller prior to importing AP lists. If
you do, the APs will be automatically mapped to their respective settings on the backup
controller. If you do not configure these settings first before importing AP lists, you will need
to configure them for each AP after importing. For example, you will need to manually move
APs into their respective AP groups from the System Default group if you did not create the
AP groups prior to importing.
8. Log into the secondary/backup ZoneDirector, and go to Configure > Access Points.
9. Import the AP lists that you backed up from the primary ZoneDirectors by selecting Import
this backup file and additional backup file(s) and clicking Import.
10. Repeat until all backup files have been imported.
11. Go to Configure > Access Points > Access Point Policies, and enable the check box next
to Keep AP's Primary and Secondary ZD Settings. This ensures that the APs' primary/
secondary ZD settings will not be overwritten by the secondary ZoneDirector's configura-
tion after failover to the secondary controller.
12. Click Apply to save your changes.
13. Reboot the backup/secondary ZoneDirector for all changes to take effect (Administer >
Restart > Restart.)
The imported APs will be placed into AP Groups according to the settings that were backed
up from the primary controller. If the original AP Group or WLAN Group name does not exist
on the destination controller, the AP will be placed in the System Default AP Group/WLAN
Group.
Additionally, you must make sure that the maximum number of APs is not exceeded.
