Secondary Master Controller
The backup Local Mobility Switch (LMS) provides reliability and redundancy; however the functionality of a
backup LMS is initiated only after an AP terminates on a controller successfully and retrieves the configuration.
If the AP boots up and fails to connect to the master controller the AP cannot be managed. To address this
ArubaOS 6.5 introduces the secondary master controller feature.
In a scenario where the master controller is not reachable, the AP will try to reach the secondary master
controller and if successful will terminate on the secondary master. The secondary master details are not
stored in the system flash when the AP is deployed for the first time, but only after a successful configuration.
An AP can use the secondary master controller feature after the AP reboots.
If an AP has not been configured to a controller after deployment the secondary master feature will not be
applicable.
In the WebUI
To enable the secondary master controller feature:
1. Navigate to Configuration > Advanced services > All Profiles.
2. Click AP > AP System.
3. Select the AP profile for which the secondary master controller feature is to be enabled. The Profile Details
section is displayed.
4. Navigate to the Basic > General tab.
5. Enter an IP or FQDN value for the secondary master controller in the Secondary Master IP/FQDN field.
