•
Self-managed access points with automatic configuration synchronization.
The access points in a cluster periodically check that the cluster configuration is consist-
ent, and check for the presence and availability of the other members of the cluster. The
administrator can monitor this information through the user interface.
•
Enhanced local authentication using 802.1x without additional IT setup.
A cluster can maintain a user authentication server and database stored on the access
points. This eliminates the need to install, configure, and maintain a RADIUS infra-
structure, and simplifies the administrative task of deploying a secure wireless network.
