Cisco Small Business WAP371 Wireless Access Point Administration Guide
The WAP device begins searching for other WAP devices in the subnet that are configured
with the same cluster name and IP version. A potential cluster member sends advertisements
every 10 seconds to announce its presence.
While searching for other cluster members, the status indicates that the configuration is being
applied. Refresh the page to see the new configuration.
If one or more WAP devices are already configured with the same cluster settings, the WAP
device joins the cluster and information on each member shows in a table.
Repeat these steps on additional WAP devices that you want to join the Single Point Setup.
Viewing Single Point Setup Information
When Single Point Setup is enabled, the AP automatically forms a cluster with other WAP
devices with the same configuration. On the Access Points page, the WAP devices detected are
listed in a table and the following information is shown:
• Location—Description of where the access point is physically located.
• MAC Address—Media Access Control (MAC) address of the access point. The address
is the MAC address for the bridge (br0), and is the address by which the WAP device is
known externally to other networks.
• IP Address—The IP address for the access point.
Note that the Single Point Setup status and the number of WAP devices are shown graphically
on the right side of the page.
Adding an Access Point to a Single Point Setup
To add a new access point that is currently in standalone mode into a Single Point Setup
cluster:
Go to the web-based configuration utility on the standalone access point.
Select Single Point Setup > Access Points in the navigation pane.
Set the Cluster name to the same name that is configured for the cluster members.
(Optional) In the Location field, enter a description of where the access point is physically
located, for example, Reception.
Click Enable Single Point Setup.
The access point automatically joins the Single Point Setup.
