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.
Note that the Single Point Setup status and the number of WAP devices are shown
graphically on the right side of the page.

Setup cluster:
