Single Point Setup

Cisco WAP131 and WAP351 Administration Guide 176

If you choose IPv6, Single Point Setup can use the link local address,
autoconfigured IPv6 global address, and statically configured IPv6 global
address. When using IPv6, ensure that all WAP devices in the cluster either
use link-local addresses only or use global addresses only.
Single Point Setup works only with the WAP devices using the same type of
IP addressing. It does not work with a group of the WAP devices where some
have IPv4 addresses and some have IPv6 addresses.
STEP 3 Click Enable Single Point Setup.
The WAP device begins searching for other WAP devices in the subnet that are
configured with the same cluster name and IP version. A potential cluster member
sends the advertisements every 10 seconds to announce its presence.
While searching for other cluster members, the status indicates that the
configuration is being applied. Refresh the page to see the new configuration.
If one or more WAP devices are already configured with the same cluster settings,
the WAP device joins the cluster and the information on each member shows in a
table.
STEP 4 Repeat these steps on additional WAP devices that you want to join the Single
Point Setup.
Viewing Single Point Setup Information
When Single Point Setup is enabled, the WAP device automatically forms a cluster
with other WAP devices with the same configuration. The Access Points page lists
the detected WAP devices in a table and the following information is displayed:
• Location—Description of where the WAP device is physically located.
• MAC Address—MAC address of the WAP device. The address is the MAC
address for the bridge (br0), and is the address by which the WAP device is
known externally to other networks.
• IP Address—The IP address for the WAP device.
NOTE The Single Point Setup status and the number of the WAP devices are shown
graphically on the right side of the page.
