Virtual Controller Wing AP310i-WR

Hi everyone, I have 24 Wing AP310i-WR access points configured. I set one AP as the master, which acts as the Virtual Controller.
If this AP fails, is it possible for another AP to automatically take over as the Virtual Controller?
If so, could you please let me know where to find this configuration?

If you place the virtual controller commands in the profile you can have the domain automatically choose using the virtual-controller auto command. For example below, the APs use DHCP for their IP and the VC address is a static entry 192.168.1.100 that will be used by whichever AP is elected. Note that during initial election, ARP caching can lead to some disruption as the VC IP gets assigned to a different MAC.
