Adding an access point to a cluster

To add an access point that is currently in standalone mode back into a cluster:

1 Go to the Administration Web pages for the standalone access point. (See “Navigating to an AP by using its IP address in a URL” on page 53.)

The Administration Web page for the standalone access point is displayed.

2 Click the Basic Settings tab in the Administration pages for the standalone access point.

The Basic Settings tab for a standalone access point indicates that the current mode is standalone and provides a button for adding the access point to a cluster (group).

Important When the cluster is full (eight APs is the limit), extra APs are added in stand-alone mode regardless of the configuration policy in effect for new access points. See “How many APs can a cluster support?” on page 42.

3 Click Join Cluster. The access point is now a cluster member. Its Status (Mode) on the Cluster > Access Points tab now indicates cluster instead of standalone.
