This chapter describes centralized configuration. 
4.1  Introduction to Centralized Configuration
Centralized configuration allows you to configure multiple WLAN controllers through one 
controller, called the master controller. The controllers must be able to communicate with one 
another.
In the following example, controller A is the master and the other controllers are members.
