How to manually failover AP in High Availability: Fast Failover w/o preemption?

    In dual role without preemption if an AP that has failed over to a standby should attempt to connect back to its original active switch once that switch is reachable again.

    In VRRP design I would use vrrp shutdown for assigned vid, so that all APs moves to the high priority controller again.

    How do I this in FF so that APs goes to their LMS from Backup LMS if "Allow Preemption" is disabled?

    Does nobody knows how mannually trigger an ap failover??

     

    In RNs under AP Communication with Controllers described :

    An AP will failover to its backup controller if it fails to contact its active controller through regular heartbeats and keepalive messages, or if the user manually triggers a failover using the WebUI or CLI

    I can not find how I can do this manually

     

    Thanks in advance for your response!

    You can use the following CLI command to manually trigger a move of one or more APs from their current active controller to their current standby controller.

    'ap-move all' - Moves all APs currently active on that controller to their standby

    'ap-move ap-group <group-name>' - Moves all APs belonging to that AP group on that controller to their standby

    'ap-move ap-name <ap-name>' - Moves only that AP to its standby

     

    Hope that helps.
