Clustering - Samsung WEC8500 Operation Manual

Clustering

The clustering function comprehensively manages several APC systems in a single
wireless LAN when several APC systems are used to manage a wireless LAN that cannot
be managed by a single APC. The inter-APC handover function is provided by using
clustering. In other words, it can provide the handover function between wireless LANs
managed by different APC systems.
However, if a model is different, it is not interoperated through clustering.
Configuration using CLI
[Cluster Setting]
To use the clustering function, you must configure each APC according to the following
procedure. Maximum 12 WEC8500 can be grouped in a cluster. Maximum 2 WEC8050
can be grouped in a cluster:
