Using DNS, the remote AP receives multiple IP addresses in response to a host name lookup. Known as the
backup controller list, remote APs go through this list to associate with a controller. If the primary controller is
unavailable or does not respond, the remote AP continues through the list until it finds an available controller.
This provides redundancy and failover protection.
If the remote AP loses connectivity on the IPSec tunnel to the controller, the remote AP establishes connectivity
with a backup controller from the list and automatically reboots. Network connectivity is lost during this time.
You can also configure a remote AP to revert back to the primary controller when it becomes available. To
complete this scenario, you must also configure the LMS IP address and the backup LMS IP address.
Perform these steps to configure a System profile.
1. Select Profiles > AP > System in the Dell PowerConnect W Navigation pane. This page summarizes the
current profiles of this type.
