Failover Planning
This section discusses failover protection at the unit and port levels.
Unit Failover Protection
In the rare event that an XS-3900 becomes unavailable, it is suggested that you
deploy a backup unit. Backup units monitor primary units via an Ethernet switch
and continue to provide wireless services in the event that the primary unit
becomes unavailable. Any XS-3900 can be set up as a backup unit. Backup units
should be located near primary units.
