Managing Access Points and Clusters
In some situations it is possible for the cluster to become out of sync. If after removing
an access point from the cluster, the AP list still reflects the deleted AP or shows
an incomplete display; refer to the information on Cluster Recovery in "Appendix B.
Troubleshooting" in this manual.
Navigating to Configuration Information for a Specific AP
and Managing Standalone APs
In general, the D-Link DWL-2210AP is designed for central management of clustered
access points. For access points in a cluster, all access points in the cluster reflect the
same configuration. In this case, it does not matter which access point you actually
connect to for administration.
There may be situations, however, when you want to view or manage information on a
particular access point. For example, you might want to check status information such
as client associations or events for an access point. Or you might want to configure
and manage features on an access point that is running in standalone mode. In these
cases, you can navigate to the Administration Web interface for individual access points
by clicking the IP address links on the Access Points tab.
All clustered access points are shown on the Cluster > Access Points page. To navigate
to clustered access points, you can simply click on the IP address for a specific cluster
member shown in the list.
Navigating to an AP by Using its IP Address in a URL
You can also link to the Administration Web pages of a specific access point, by entering
the IP address for that access point as a URL directly into a Web browser address bar
in the following form:
http://IPAddressOfAccessPoint
where IPAddressOfAccessPoint is the address of the particular access point you want
to monitor or configure.
For standalone access points, this is the only way to navigate to their configuration
information.
If you do not know the IP address for a standalone access point, use KickStart Wizard
on the CD-ROM to find all APs on the network and you should be able to derive which
ones are standalone by comparing KickStart findings with access points listed on the
Cluster > Access Points tab. The APs that KickStart Wizard finds that are not shown
on the this tab are probably standalone APs. (For more information on using KickStart,
see "Step 3. Run KickStart on the CD-ROM to find access points on the network" in
this manual.)
