 AP Clustering

New Functions Implementation (DWS-4026/DWL-8600AP)

AP Clustering Operation (Cont.)

• A single AP can be called as a cluster with one AP and the above rule of

arbitration applies.

• APs can be dropped out of cluster if they lose the connectivity to other

APs in the cluster. That means if they do not receive discovery packets

for 60 seconds. The discovery packets are transmitted every ten

seconds.

• If an AP loses connectivity and joins the cluster again before it is

dropped from the cluster any configuration changes to that AP during

dropped from the cluster

any configuration changes to that AP during

the lost connectivity will be propagated when connectivity resumes.

• If there is any changes in configuration in the disconnected AP, it will be

propagated once the AP joins the cluster again. If there is change in

configuration in two disconnected APs the latest change will be selected

configuration in two disconnected APs

the latest change will be selected

and will be propagated across the cluster.
