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).

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

.

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

.
