34 AT-TQ2403 - Management Software - User's Guide
When Channel Planning is enabled, the radio Channel is not synced across the cluster.
Security settings
MAC address filtering
Settings Not Shared by the Cluster
The few exceptions (settings not shared among clustered access points) are the following, most of which
by nature must be unique:
IP addresses
MAC addresses
Location descriptions
Load Balancing settings
WDS bridges
Ethernet (Wired) Settings, including enabling or disabling Guest access
Guest interface configuration
Settings that are not shared must be configured individually on the Administration pages for each access
point. To get to the Administration pages for an access point that is a member of the current cluster, click
on its IP Address link on the Cluster > Access Points page of the current AP.
Cluster Formation
A cluster is formed when the first AP is deployed with clustering enabled. The AP attempts to
rendezvous with an existing cluster.
If it is unable to locate any other APs on the subnet with the same cluster name, then it establishes a new
cluster on its own.
When AT-TQ2403 enables cluster function, it sends out its configuration file to all the devices in the
clustered group.
If there is more than one AT-TQ2403 in the clustered group, the last-joined AT-TQ2403 shares its
configuration with other AT-TQ2403 in the group.
Cluster Size and Membership
Validation testing has verified 15 AP without enable VWN function on the same subnet. Validation testing
has verified 8 AP with enable 4 VWN on the same subnet. In this test case the cluster function works
well. Cluster membership is determined by:
Cluster Name - APs with the same name will join the same cluster. (see “Setting the Cluster Name
”)
Whether clustering is enabled - Only APs for which clustering is enabled will join a cluster. (see
“Starting Clustering
” and “Stopping Clustering”)
