Adding an Access Point to a Cluster
To add an access point that is currently in standalone mode back into a cluster, do the following.
1. Go to the Administration Web pages for the standalone access point.
2. Click the Cluster > Access Points link in the Administration pages for the stand‐alone access point.
The Access Points page for a standalone access point indicates that the current mode is standalone.
3. Type the name or location of the AP in the Location field to identify the AP within the cluster.
4. Type the name of the cluster for the AP to join in the Cluster Name field.
5. Click Start Clustering.
The access point is now a cluster member. Its Status (Mode) on the Cluster > Access Points page now
indicates Cluster instead of Not Clustered.
Navigating to Configuration Information for a Specific AP
In general, the UAP is designed for central management of clustered access points. For access points in a cluster,
all access points in the cluster reflect the same configuration. In this case, it does not matter which access point
you actually connect to for administration.
There may be situations, however, when you want to view or manage information on a particular access point.
For example, you might want to check status information such as client associations or events for an access
point. In this case, you can navigate to the Administration Web interface for individual access points by clicking
the IP address links on the Access Points page.
All clustered access points are shown on the Cluster > Access Points page. To navigate to clustered access
points, you can simply click on the IP address for a specific cluster member shown in the list.
Navigating to an AP by Using its IP Address in a URL
You can also link to the Administration Web pages of a specific access point, 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
where IPAddressOfAccessPoint is the address of the particular access point you want to monitor or configure.
