AP Clustering Operation

 When multiple APs form cluster, the following arbitration rules

determine the AP which control the cluster:

• Clusters are formed when APs configure the cluster name and enable

their clustering mode

• Clusters are formed between APs that have same cluster name and are

joined by a wired network.

• When APs start the cluster formation, the first AP that declares itself a

member of the cluster wins the arbitration.

• The AP that wins the arbitration pushes the configuration to the rest of

the APs in the cluster.

•

When administrator configures one of the APs in the cluster, that AP will

then push the configuration to the rest of the cluster and have control of

the cluster.

• When two disjoint clusters are joined, the first cluster that is created

wins the arbitration for cluster control The configuration on the newer

wins the arbitration for cluster control

The configuration on the newer

cluster is overwritten by the larger cluster controller.
