HIGH AVAILABILITY AND SELF-HEALING Redundant ExtremeWireless Appliances can be deployed across the network and operate in failover or load sharing mode. Access points can be configured for fast-failover mode to allow configuration and service restoration (in tunnel mode) in less than two seconds, thus enabling user sessions to continue uninterrupted. When switching traffic locally, APs continue to provide service even when the link to the wireless appliance is ExtremeWireless APs also feature Dynamic Radio Management, which enables the network to automatically adapt to changes in the RF...
