Managing Access Points and Clusters
The progress bar indicates that the system is busy performing an auto-synch of the
updated configuration to all APs in the cluster. The Administration Web pages are not
editable during the auto-synch.
Note that auto-synchronization always occurs during configuration updates that affect
the cluster, but the processing time is usually negligible. The auto-synch progress bar
is displayed only for longer-than-usual wait times.
Understanding Access Point Settings
The access points tab provides information about all access points in the cluster.
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.
Standalone access points (those which are not members of the cluster) are not shown
on this page.

Description
Description of where the access point is physically located.
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.
The address shown here is the MAC address for the bridge
(br0). This is the address by which the AP is known externally to
other networks.
To see MAC addresses for Guest and Internal interfaces on the
AP, see the Status > Interfaces tab.
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.
