Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

In AC backup scenarios, a primary AC IP address is configured. When APs attempt to go online, they preferentially associate with the primary AC and establish CAPWAP tunnels.

Precautions

The configurations of primary-access and backup-access take effect only if both the commands are run to configure different IP addresses.
primary-access and backup-access cannot be configured with priority or protect-ac.
It is not recommended that primary-access and backup-access be configured with ac protect protect-ac or ac protect priority.
The configuration takes effect only after the AP is restarted.
The IP addresses specified by primary-access and backup-access must be configured the same as CAPWAP source IP addresses. If the CAPWAP source addresses have been translated using NAT, set the primary-access and backup-access IP addresses to the translated addresses.

Example

# Set the primary AC IP address to 10.33.12.56.

[HUAWEI] wlan 
[HUAWEI-wlan-view] ap-system-profile name sys1
