Resiliency and Dual-Homing Options for APs

APs can support a wide variety of resiliency options. Redundancy for PoE, for data link connections and
for switch services can be provided to the AP.
• PoE redundancy - On AP models that have two Ethernet ports, you can provide PoE
redundancy by connecting both ports to PoE sources. PoE can come from a directly
connected switch or a PoE injector. Dual-homing support for PoE is automatically enabled
when you connect both AP Ethernet ports.
• Data link redundancy - You can provide data link redundancy by connecting both
Ethernet ports directly to one switch, two switches, an intermediate Ethernet switch, or a
combination of DWS-1008 and Ethernet switch. If an intermediate Ethernet connection is
used, you also need a Distributed AP configuration on a switch somewhere in the network.
Dual-homing support for data link redundancy is automatically enabled when you connect
both AP Ethernet ports.
