Managing Access Points in the Cluster

Clustering Single and Dual Radio Access Points

Clusters can contain a mixture of access points with two radios and access points
with a single radio. When the configuration of a single-radio access point in the
cluster changes, the access point propagates the change to the first radio of all
cluster members. The configuration of the second radio on any dual-radio access
points in the cluster is not affected.
If a cluster contains only single-radio access points and a dual radio access point
joins the cluster, then only radio 1 on the dual-radio access point is configured with
the cluster configuration. Radio 2 on the access point remains as it was prior to
joining the cluster. However, if the cluster already has at least one dual-radio
access point, then the second radio of the access point joining the cluster is
configured with the cluster settings.

Viewing and Configuring Cluster Members

The Access Points tab allows you to start or stop clustering on an access point,
view the cluster members, and configure the location and cluster name for a
cluster member. From the Access Points page, you can also click the IP address of
each cluster member to navigate to configuration settings and data on an access
point in the cluster.
To view information about cluster members and to configure the location and
cluster of an individual member, click the Access Points tab.
