Remote AP Failback
In conjunction with the backup controller list, you can configure remote APs to revert back (failback) to the
primary controller if it becomes available. If you do not explicitly configure this behavior, the remote AP will keep
its connection with the backup controller until the remote AP, controller, or both have rebooted or some type of
network failure occurs. If any of these events occur, the remote AP will go through the backup controller list and
attempt to connect with the primary controller.

RAP Local Network Access
You can enable local network access between the clients (from same or different subnets and VLANs) connected
to a RAP through wired or wireless interfaces in split-tunnel/bridge forwarding modes. This allows the clients to
effectively communicate with each other without routing the traffic via the controller. You can use CLI or the
WebUI to enable the local network access.
