6.3.4.2

Settings Not Shared By The Cluster

The few exceptions (settings not shared among clustered access points) are the fol-
lowing, most of which by nature must be unique:

•

IP addresses.

•

MAC addresses.

•

Location descriptions.

•

Load Balancing settings.

•

WDS bridges.

•

Ethernet (Wired) Settings.

•

Guest interface configuration.

Settings that are not shared must be configured individually on the Administration 
pages for each access point. To get to the Administration pages for an access point 
that is a member of the current cluster, click on its IP Address link on the Cluster > 
Access Points page of the current AP.

6.3.5  Cluster Formation

A cluster is formed when the first AP is deployed with clustering enabled. The AP 
attempts to rendezvous with an existing cluster. If it is unable to locate any other APs 
on the subnet with the same cluster name, then it establishes a new cluster on its own.

6.3.6  Cluster Size And Membership

Currently, there is no hard limit on the number of APs in a cluster. Validation testing 
has verified a dozen or more supported on the same subnet. You can include as 
many APs as needed in a cluster at any one time.

Cluster membership is determined by:

•

Cluster Name - APs with the same name will join the same cluster (see 
“Setting The Cluster Name” on page 60).

•

Whether clustering is enabled - Only APs for which clustering is enabled 
will join a cluster (see “Starting Clustering” on page 61 and “Stopping 
Clustering” on page 61).
