[AC6605_AC2] wlan

[AC6605_AC2-wlan-view] wlan ac protect enable protect-ac 30.30.30.1 priority 7

In the preceding commands,

protect-ac

specifies the IP address of the standby AC. Set

this parameter to the other AC's IP address on each AC.

The active AC must have a

higher priority than the standby AC. The value 0 indicates the highest priority, and the
value 7 indicates the lowest priority. A smaller value indicates a higher priority. Run the

display wlan ac protect

command to check the AC priorities.
