Enable and Configure Ensemble Mode

An access point (AP) ensemble is a dynamic, configuration-aware group of APs in the same
subnet of a network. Each ensemble can include up to 10 members, which must be of the
same model. Only one ensemble per wireless network is supported. However, a network
subnet can include multiple ensembles. Ensembles allow APs to share various configuration
information, such as VAP settings and QoS queue parameters.
Ensemble members share the configuration of the dominant AP.
An ensemble can be formed between two APs if the following conditions are met:
• The APs are of the same model.
• The APs use the same radio mode.
• The APs are connected on the same bridged segment.
• The ensemble names of the APs that are joining are the same.
• Ensemble mode is enabled on both APs.
