Super Root Selection

The access point with the highest assigned root priority

becomes the super root whenever it is powered on and

active. If the current super root goes offline, the remaining

candidates negotiate to determine which one becomes the

new super root. This normally takes about 1 minute.
The super root is always the access point with the highest

root priority (other than 0). If two or more access points

have the same root priority, the unit with the highest

Ethernet address becomes the super root.

Super Root Redundancy

For

redundancy, two or three access points should have a

nonzero root priority. All other access points should have a

root priority of 0. (Redundancy is the ability of another

access point to take over if the super root goes offline.)
You should do the following:

"

Configure one access point as a primary super root

(with the highest root priority).

"

Configure one or two access points as “fallback” super

roots (with lower priority).

"

Configure remaining access points with a root priority

of 0.

[Global Radio]

" NOTE:

Use the same [Global Radio] settings in all super root candidates.

[Global Radio] distributes network-wide configuration

parameters. Settings in the super root are distributed

throughout the network. Options are:
