3.6.4.1 Secondary AP Controller
The secondary AP controller is simply a backup of the primary AP controller. It
takes over the management of APs covered by the primary controller AP as soon
as the secondary controller AP fails to detect the primary AP controller’s presence.
This happens when the primary controller AP is disconnected from the network,
rebooting or turned off.
Note: While the primary controller AP is online, the secondary controller AP cannot
configure any of the managed APs. However, it still has to be turned on to
synchronize with the primary controller AP’s latest settings.

To set your NWA in secondary controller AP mode, open the Controller >
Redundacy screen (this screen only appears when the NWA is in Controller AP
mode) in the Web Configurator of the NWA that you want to serve as backup.
