Reviewing Current Access Point Policies
The Access Point Policies options allow you to define how new APs are detected
and approved for use in WLAN coverage, as well as policies on client distribution
and communicating with ZoneDirector. These policies are enforced on all APs
managed by ZoneDirector unless a specific WLAN setting overrides them. For
example, if you want to enable Load Balancing for most APs but disable it on specific
WLANs, you would enable it in the
Access Point Policies section, then disable it for
the particular WLAN from the Configure > WLANs page.
To review and revise the general AP policies, follow these steps:
1 Go to Configure > Access Points .
2 Review the current settings in Access Point Policies . You can change the
following settings:
•
Approval
: This is enabled by default, which means that all join requests from
any ZoneFlex AP will be approved automatically. If you want to manually
review and approve the joining of new APs to the WLAN, clear this check box.
•
Limited ZD Discovery
: If you have multiple ZoneDirectors on the network
and want specific APs to join specific ZoneDirectors, you can limit ZoneDi-
rector discovery. To do this, select the
Limited ZD Discovery
check box,
and then enter the IP addresses (or FQDN) of the primary and secondary
ZoneDirector units to which you want APs to join. When
Limited ZD
Discovery is enabled, APs will first attempt to join the primary ZoneDirector.
If they cannot find or are unable to join the primary ZoneDirector, they will
attempt to join the secondary ZoneDirector. If still unsuccessful, APs will stop
attempting for a brief period of time, and then they will restart the joining
process. They will repeat this process until they successfully join either the
primary or secondary ZoneDirector.
NOTE: If you have two ZoneDirectors of the same model and license level, Ruckus
Wireless recommends using the Smart Redundancy feature. If you have two
ZoneDirectors of different models or different license levels, you can use Limited ZD
Discovery to provide limited redundancy; however, this method does not provide
synchronization of the user database. For information on Smart Redundancy
configuration, see
Enabling Smart Redundancy . For information on N+1 redundancy
using Limited ZD Discovery, see Using Limited ZD Discovery for N+1 Redundancy .
