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
