Protocol Version
The Cluster Protocol should be set to an identical value for each controller in the
redundancy group. The protocol version is one of the parameters used to
determine whether two peers can form a group.
Redundancy state is Displays the state of the redundancy group. When the redundancy feature is
disabled, the state is "Disabled." When enabled, it goes to a "Startup" state. From
"Startup" it goes to a "Discovery" state immediately if the STP convergence is not
enabled. Otherwise, it remains in "Startup" for a period of 50 seconds (the
standard STP convergence time). During the discover state, the controller
exchanges heartbeats and update messages to discover other members and
define the redundancy group license. After discerning memberships, it moves to
an Active state. There is no difference in state execution for Primary and Standby
modes.
AP Licenses in Group Displays the number of Access Points that can be adopted in the redundancy
group. This value is calculated when a member starts-up, is added, is deleted or a
license changes (downgrade and upgrade.) This value is equal to the highest
license level of its members. It is NOT the sum of the license level of its members.
For information on licensing rules impacting redundancy group members, see
"Redundancy group license aggregation rules"
AAP Licenses
Displays the number of Adaptive APs that can be adopted in the redundancy group.
This value is calculated when a member starts-up, is added, is deleted or a license
changes (downgrade and upgrade.) This value is equal to the highest license level
of its members. It is NOT the sum of the license level of its members. For
information on licensing rules impacting redundancy group members, see
"Redundancy group license aggregation rules"
Access Points in group Displays the total of the number of Access Points adopted by the entire
membership of the redundancy group.
Adaptive Access Points
Displays the total of the number of Adaptive APs adopted by the entire
in Group membership of the redundancy group.
Adoption capacity in Displays the combined AP adoption capability for each controller radio comprising
the cluster. Compare this value with the adoption capacity on this controller to
group
determine if the cluster members have adequate adoption capabilities.
Rogue Access Points in
Displays the cumulative number of rogue APs detected by the members of the
group. Compare this value with the number of rogues detected by this AP to
group
discern whether an abundance of rogues has been located by a particular
controller and thus escalates a security issue with a particular controller.
Radios in group
Displays the combined number (sum) of radios a amongst all the members of the
redundancy group.
Self-healing radios in Displays the number of radios within the cluster that have self-healing capabilities
group enabled. Compare this value with the total number of radios within the group to
determine how effectively the radios within the cluster can self-heal if problems
exist.
Wireless Clients in Displays the combined number of Client associations for the members of the
group redundancy group. Compare this number with the number of Clients on this
controller to determine how effectively Client associations are distributed within
the cluster.
DHCP Server in Group Displays the total number of DHCP Servers available for DHCP resources for the
combined cluster membership.
Controller running Displays the controller firmware image version currently running on the controller.
Compare this version with the latest version available from Brocade to ensure the
image version
controller supports the latest feature set available.
