System Location field in the “Provide basic settings” window, shown in
Figure 5 on page 26.
3. Select the Cluster Name field and enter the name of the cluster. If the
access point is the first member of a new cluster, enter a new name. If
the access point is to be a member of an existing cluster, enter the
name of the existing cluster. The name has to be the same on all the
access points in the cluster and can be from 1 to 128 characters.
Spaces and special characters are allowed. The cluster name is case
sensitive.
4. Click the Update button to activate and save your changes on the
access point.
5. Click the Start Clustering button to start the clustering feature on the
access point.
At this point, the access point queries the network on the LAN port for
a cluster of the same name as its own, and does one of the following:
If it does not find any units with the same cluster name, it operates
as a cluster of one access point and does not change its current
parameter settings.
If it finds one or more units with the same cluster name, it changes
its shared parameters to match the settings on the other units in
the cluster.
6. Refresh the web browser window or go to another management
window and then return to the “Manage access points in the cluster”
window to update the window.
If the access point found other units with the same cluster name, it
displays them in the window. Figure 28 on page 98 shows a cluster of
two units.
