There may be situations, however, when you want to view or manage information on a particular access point.

In this case, you can navigate to the Administration Web interface for individual access points by clicking the IP address links on the 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.

Removing an Access Point from the Cluster
To remove an access point from the cluster, do the following.
1.)
Go to the Administration Web pages for the clustered access point.
The Administration Web pages for the standalone access point are displayed.
2.)
Click the
Cluster > Access Points
link in the Administration pages.
3.)
Click
Stop Clustering
.
4.)
The change will be reflected under Status for that access point; the access point will now show as stand-alone
(instead of cluster).
Adding an Access Point to a Cluster
To add an access point that is currently in standalone mode back into a cluster, do the following.
1.)
Go to the Administration Web pages for the standalone access point.
2.)
Click the
Cluster > Access Points
link in the Administration pages for the stand-alone access point.
The
Access Points
page for a standalone access point indicates that the current mode is standalone.
3.)
Type the name or location of the AP in the
Location
field to identify the AP within the cluster.
4.)
Type the name of the cluster for the AP to join in the
Cluster Name
field.
5.)
Click

6.)
The access point is now a cluster member. Its Status (Mode) on the
Cluster > Access Points
page now
indicates Cluster instead of Not Clustered.
Navigating to Configuration Information for a Specific AP
In general, the UAP 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. In this
case, you can navigate to the Administration Web interface for individual access points by clicking the IP address links
on the
Access Points
page.
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
