STEP 4
Cisco Small Business WAP551 and WAP561 Wireless-N Access Point
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 WAP device 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.
• Cluster Priority—The priority for the access point.
• Cluster Controller—Specifies whether the AP's are Dominant or not.
Note that the Single Point Setup status and the number of WAP devices are shown graphically
on the right side of the page.
