The Access Points tab on the Administration Web page provides information about all access points on the wireless network.
From this tab, you can view location descriptions, IP addresses, enable (activate) or disable (deactivate) clustered access points, and remove access points from the cluster. You can also modify the location description for an access point.
The IP address links provide a way to navigate to configuration settings and data on an access point.
Navigating to a specific access point can be particularly useful for access points running in standalone mode.
The following table describes the access point settings and information display in detail.
Field | Description |
|
|
Location | Description of where the access point is physically located. |
|
|
MAC Address | Media Access Control (MAC) address of the access point. |
| A MAC address is a permanent, unique hardware address for any device |
| that represents an interface to the network. The MAC address is assigned |
| by the manufacturer. You cannot change the MAC address. It is provided |
| here for informational purposes as a unique identifier for the access point. |
| Even if an access point is configured for multiple BSSIDs and has multiple |
| MAC addresses, only one of its MAC addresses will be shown in this list. |
|
|
IP Address | Specifies the IP address for the access point. Each IP address is a link to |
| the Administration Web pages for that access point. You can use the links |
| to navigate to the Administration Web pages for a specific access point. |
| This is useful for viewing data on a specific access point to make sure a |
| cluster member is picking up cluster configuration changes, to configure |
| advanced settings on a particular access point, or to switch a standalone |
| access point to cluster mode. |
