Note that auto-synchronization always occurs during configuration updates that affect the
cluster, but the processing time is usually negligible. The auto-synch progress bar is

Cluster recovery
In cases where the access points in a cluster become out of sync for any of the reasons
mentioned in
mentioned in
, or an access point cannot join or be
removed from a cluster, the following methods for cluster recovery are recommended.
Reboot or reset access point
These recovery methods are given in the order you should try them. In all but the last
case (stop clustering), you only need to reset or reboot the particular access point whose
configuration is out of sync with other cluster members or cannot remove/join cluster.
