Dedicated master - Unleashed

[MariaC862]

As a replacement for the ZoneDirector 1200, Dedicated Master is introduced in Unleashed 200.13.

Note: Only the R750 AP and the R850 AP can be elected as a Dedicated Master.

As compared to Unleashed bridge mode, the following features are supported in Dedicated Master mode:

• Cross-network segment networking
• Dedicated Master VLAN and AP VLAN
• Smart Redundancy
• Maximum capacity limit to 4,000 clients (compared to Unleashed bridge mode)
• Tunnel WLAN
• ZoneDirector AP migration to Unleashed network

To disable dedicated master a factory reset must be done.

Is important to highlight that this is different from setting a preferred master, as this setting is not bounded to an ap model, any other Ethernet-connected member AP can take the Master role. For more info on preferred master please visit Designating a Preferred Master AP
