6. Check that SmartPath AP-3 has associated with the other members at the wireless level.

7. To check that the cluster members have full data connectivity with each other, associate a client in wireless network-1 with
SmartPath AP-1 (the SSID "employee" is already defined on clients in wireless network-1; see Section 11.1). Then check if
SmartPath AP-1 forwards the client's MAC address to the others to store in their roaming caches.
After associating a wireless client with SmartPath AP-1, log in to SmartPath AP-1 and enter this command:
show ssid employee station

In the output of the show cluster cluster1
neighbor command, you can see hive-level and
member-level information. (On SmartPath APs
supporting 802.11n, the channel width for cluster
communications—20 or
40 MHz—is also shown.)
When you see the MAC addresses of the other cluster
members, you know that ClusterAP-3 learned them
over a wireless backhaul link.
The following are the various cluster states that can appear:
Disv (Discover) - Another SmartPath AP has been discovered,
but there is a mismatch with its cluster ID.
Neibor (Neighbor) - Another SmartPath AP has been discovered
whose cluster ID matches, but it has not yet been authenticated.
CandPr (Candidate Peer) - The cluster ID on a discovered SmartPath
AP matches, and it can accept more neighbors.
AssocPd (Association Pending) - A SmartPath AP is on the same
backhaul channel, and an assocation process in progress.
Assocd (Associated) - A SmartPath AP has associated with the local
SmartPath AP and can now start the authentication process.
Auth (Authenticated) - The SmartPath AP has been authenticated
and can now exchange data traffic.
