1. Specify the Cluster-Wide Parameters > Standby Publisher parameters as described in the following
table:
Parameter Action/Description
Enable Publisher
Failover
To authorize a node in a cluster on the system to act as a publisher if the primary
publisher fails, select TRUE.
The default value is FALSE.
Designated Standby
Publisher
Select the server in the cluster to act as the standby publisher.
The default value is 0.
NOTE: If the Standby Publisher is on a different subnet from the Publisher, then ensure
that a reliable connection between the two subnets is available to avoid unwanted network
segmentation and potential data loss from a false failover.
Failover Wait Time Specify the time (in minutes) for which the secondary node must wait before it acquires a
virtual IP address after the primary node fails.
The default failover wait time is 10 minutes.
This prevents the secondary node from taking over when the primary node is temporarily
unavailable during a restart.

1. Specify the Cluster-Wide Parameters > Virtual IP parameter as described in the following table:
Parameter Action/Description
Failover
Wait Time
Enter the number of seconds for the secondary node to wait after primary node failure before it
acquires the virtual IP address.
The default fail-over wait time is 10 seconds in order for the secondary node to take over and
respond quickly to authentication access requests.
Table 301: Cluster-Wide Parameters > Virtual IPConfiguration Parameter
You can define a virtual IP address with a primary server only (that is, without a secondary server) if required. This
can be used to add an additional IP address to the W-ClearPass Policy Manager server without introducing any
redundancy.
