Navigating to Configuration Information for a Specific Device
All WAP devices in a Single Point Setup cluster reflect the same configuration (if the
configurable items can be propagated). It does not matter which WAP device you connect to
for administration—configuration changes on any WAP device in the cluster are propagated to
the other members.
There may be situations, however, when you want to view or manage information on a
particular WAP device. For example, you might want to check status information such as
client associations or events for an access point. In this case, you can click the IP address in the
table on the Access Points page to show the web-based configuration utility for the particular
access point.

You can also link to the web-based configuration utility of a specific WAP device by entering
the IP address for that access point as a URL directly into a web browser address bar in the
following form:
http://IPAddressOfAccessPoint (if using HTTP)
https://IPAddressofAccessPoint (if using HTTPS)

To configure the cluster management address of an individual Single Point Setup cluster
member:
• Cluster Management Address—In order to access the cluster with a single IP. The
Cluster can be configured with an option of Cluster IPv4 address. This is part of the
global configuration of the cluster in section. It has to be statically configured by the
Cluster Administrator. The Cluster IP management address should be part of the same
subnet as the clustered AP management IP addresses. The Cluster IP address is
configured as secondary IP address to the management interface of the Dominant AP.
The Dominant AP user interface is accessible using the Cluster IP address. When the
Cluster IP address is set as secondary IP address on the Dominant IP, it sends Gratuitous
ARPs on the management VLAN so that the mapping between the new IP address and
the MAC-address is established in the subnet. The Cluster IP address configuration is
shared among all the clustered APs.
