Remote Management
When the APs are on the same subnet and have the same SSID, wireless clients can seamlessly
roam among the three APs with no interruption in network access. The client keeps the same
IP address and does not need to re-authenticate when it moves into the broadcast area of a
different AP. Configuration changes to the APs are managed by the switch simultaneously or
on a per-AP basis.

Peer Switch WCS Deployment

To support larger networks, you can configure up to four switches as peers, which increases
the size and range of the WLAN.
