AVIGATING TO ONFIGURATION
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 tab.

cluster name on each AP that is a member of the cluster. The cluster name must be
unique for each cluster you configure on the network.
