Usage guidelines

For an anchor AP that automatically disables the AC election feature after being associated with the AC, this command re-enables AC election. This operation ensures that a new AC can be elected when the running AC goes offline.

The AC election feature is enabled on an anchor AP when the anchor AP is shipped. If you cannot log in to the AC, reboot the anchor AP to restore the factory setting.

Examples

# Enable AC election for anchor AP ap1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan ap ap1 model WA4320i-ACN-A

[Sysname-wlan-ap-ap1] anchor-ap enable

# Enable AC election for anchor APs in AP group group1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan ap-group group1

[Sysname-wlan-ap-group-group1] anchor-ap enable

Parameters

file-name: Specifies the name of the file with the extension .cfg for saving AC configuration. If you do not specify this argument, the AC configuration is saved with the name of the AC's next-startup configuration file. For information about next-startup configuration file management, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Usage guidelines

This command backs up the AC configuration to the flash memories of the other anchor APs as the next-startup configuration file. When the AC goes offline, the newly elected AC can use the original configuration to manage the fit APs.

Examples

# Back up the AC configuration to the flash memories of the other anchor APs as the next-startup configuration file with file name abc.cfg.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan anchor-ap save-configuration abc.cfg
