Configuring Redundancy
This chapter outlines the steps required to configure the various redundancy options available
in an Aruba network. The redundancy can include backing up an Aruba WLAN Switch for
the Access Points being controlled (and through them the clients accessing the wireless
network), backing up an Aruba Master switch.
Conceptual Overview
The underlying mechanism for the redundancy solutions in the Aruba solution is the standard
redundancy protocol, Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). This mechanism can be
used to create various redundancy solutions, including pairs of local switches acting in an
active-active mode or a hot-standby mode, master backing up a set of local switches, a pair of
switches acting as a redundant pair of master switches in a hot standby mode. Each of these
modes is explained in greater detail with the required configuration.
VRRP is a protocol that is designed to eliminate the single point of failure by providing an
election mechanism amongst
n
switches to elect a “
master”
switch. This
master
switch is the
owner of the configured Virtual IP address for this VRRP instance. When the
master
becomes
unavailable, one of the backup switches takes the place of the
master
, thereby getting ownership
of the Virtual IP address. All the network elements (such as the Access Points and other
switches in this case) can be configured to access the Virtual IP, thereby providing a
transparent redundant solution to the rest of the network.
