The activate (light bulb) icon is lit when the entry is active and dimmed 
when the entry is inactive.

Interface

This field identifies the interface. At the time of writing, Ethernet and 
bridge interfaces can be included in the active-passive mode virtual 
router. The member interfaces of any bridge interfaces do not display 
separately.

Virtual Router 
IP /  Netmask

This is the master NWA3000-N series AP’s (static) IP address and 
subnet mask for this interface. If a backup takes over for the master, it 
uses this IP address. These fields are blank if the interface is a DHCP 
client or has no IP settings.

Management IP 
/ Netmask

This field displays the interface’s management IP address and subnet 
mask. You can use this IP address and subnet mask to access the 
NWA3000-N series AP whether it is in master or backup mode.

Link Status

This tells whether the monitored interface’s connection is down or up.

Synchronization Use synchronization to have a backup NWA3000-N series AP copy the 

master NWA3000-N series AP’s configuration and certificates. 

Every interface’s management IP address must be in the same subnet 
as the interface’s IP address (the virtual router IP address).

Server Address

If this NWA3000-N series AP is set to backup role, enter the IP address 
or Fully-Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the NWA3000-N series AP 
from which to get updated configuration. Usually, you should enter the 
IP address or FQDN of a virtual router on a secure network.

If this NWA3000-N series AP is set to master role, this field displays the 
NWA3000-N series AP’s IP addresses and/or Fully-Qualified Domain 
Names (FQDN) through which NWA3000-N series APs in backup role 
can get updated configuration from this NWA3000-N series AP.

Sync. Now

Click this to copy the specified NWA3000-N series AP’s configuration.

Server Port

If this NWA3000-N series AP is set to backup role, enter the port 
number to use for Secure FTP when synchronizing with the specified 
master NWA3000-N series AP.

If this NWA3000-N series AP is set to master role, this field displays the 
NWA3000-N series AP’s Secure FTP port number. Click the link if you 
need to change the FTP port number.

Every NWA3000-N series AP in the virtual router must use the same 
port number. If the master NWA3000-N series AP changes, you have to 
manually change this port number in the backups.
