Understanding Clustering
A key feature of the D-Link DWL-2210AP is the ability to form a dynamic, configuration-aware
group (called a cluster) with other D-Link DWL-2210APs in a network in the same subnet.
Access points can participate in a self-organizing cluster which makes it easier for you to
deploy, administer, and secure your wireless network. The cluster provides a single point
of administration and lets you view the deployment of access points as a single wireless
network rather than a series of separate wireless devices.
What is a Cluster?
A cluster is a group of access points which are coordinated as a single group via D-Link
DWL-2210AP administration. You cannot create multiple clusters on a single wireless
network (SSID). Only one cluster per wireless network is supported.
How Many APs Can a Cluster Support?
Up to eight access points are supported in a cluster at any one time. If a new AP is
added to a network with a cluster that is already at full capacity, the new AP is added in
standalone mode. Note that when the cluster is full, extra APs are added in standalone
mode regardless of the configuration policy in effect for new access points.
For related information, see "Cluster Mode", "Standalone Mode", and "Set Configuration
Policy for New Access Points" in this manual.
