Defining Management Users - Extreme Networks Summit WM20 User Manual

When the failed Summit WM Controller recovers, each Summit WM Controller in the pair goes back to
normal mode. They exchange information that includes the latest lists of registered Wireless APs. The
administrator must release the Wireless APs manually on the second Summit WM Controller, so that
they may re-register with their home Summit WM Controller. Foreign APs can now all be released at
once by using the Foreign button on the Access Approval screen to select all foreign APs, and then
clicking Released.
To support the availability feature during a failover event, administrators need to do the following:
1 Monitor the critical messages for the failover mode message, in the information log of the remaining
Summit WM Controller (in the Reports and Displays section of the Summit WM Controller).
2 After recovery, on the Summit WM Controller that did not fail, select the foreign Wireless APs and
click on the Release button on the Access Approval screen.

password.
