Query on standby APs on standby controller in HA

  • 1.  Query on standby APs on standby controller in HA

    Posted Jun 21, 2016 10:44 AM

    Hi, 

     

    If we have three controllers in one HA group configured in dual mode, Based on the LMS IP configured in the AP system profile, the controller will be acting as a active controller. However when it comes to selection of standby controller, then round robin method is used. 

     

    For example, if controller 1 which is listed at the top of HA group is active, then controller 2 will act as a standby controller. If controller 2 or controller 3 which is listed in 2nd or 3rd position in HA group is acting as a active controller, then controller 1 will always act as a standby controller for the controller which is at 2 and 3 rd position. 

     

    My question is, will we have control on selecting a standby controller in HA like configuring backup LMS, so that we can evenly distribute the Aps instead of depending on round robin method used by HA?

     

    Thanks
