LMS) to fail back to the primary controller (primary LMS) if it becomes available. Enable
LMS preemption with this field.
LMS Hold-down Period
(1-3600 sec)
600
Enter the amount of time the remote AP must wait before moving back to the primary
controller.
Number of IPSEC
Retries
360
Number of times the AP will try to create an IPsec tunnel with the master controller
before the AP will reboot. If you specify a value of 0, and AP will not reboot if it cannot
create the IPsec tunnel. The supported range of values is 0-1000 retries, and the default
value is 360 retries.
Master controller IP
