Overview

6.1 Overview
The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway shows current basic configuration settings for clustered
access points (location, IP address, MAC address, status, and availability) and provides a
way of navigating to the full configuration for specific APs if they are cluster members.
Standalone access points or those which are not members of this cluster do not show up in
this listing. To configure standalone access points, you must know the IP address of the
access point and use it in a URL (
http://IPAddressOfAccessPoint ).
Note: The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway is not designed for multiple, simultaneous configura-
tion changes. If you have a network that includes multiple access points, and more
than one administrator is logged on to the Administration Web pages and making
changes to the configuration, all access points in the cluster will stay in sync but there
is no guarantee that all configuration changes specified by multiple users will be
applied.

tab.

6.3 Understanding Clustering
A key feature of the 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway is the ability to form a dynamic, configura-
tion-aware group (called a cluster) with other 9160 G2 Wireless Gateways in a network in
the same subnet. Access points can participate in a self-organizing cluster which makes it
easier for you to deploy, administer, and secure your wireless network. The cluster provides
