How to set preferred active?

Toscana — Fri, 28 Jan 2022 09:12:08 GMT

Hi,

we're just testing two C9120AXI. Upgraded both to 17.7.1. I'm connected to one of them via console cable and logged in to the gui at the same time. When I shut down power on POE switch, both APs go down. When I reconnect switch to power the APs come back, but they've swapped active and standby. Console access is not working anymore (command line access is not allowed on standby AP). I could move with my management computer and console cable around between the APs, but preferrably I would like to prevent them to swap.

Dashboard says "Preferred active not configured", but I can't find any way to configure a "preferred active".

Any idea how to achieve this?

Thanks and regards,

Stefano

May be you need set priority i guess here :

By default, all access points are set to priority level 1, which is the lowest priority level. Therefore, you need to assign a priority level only to those access points that warrant a higher priority.
