STEP 1 Select Single Point Setup > Access Points in the navigation pane.
Single Point Setup is disabled by default on the WAP device. When disabled, the
Enable Single Point Setup button is visible. If Single Point Setup is enabled, the
Disable Single Point Setup button is visible. You can edit Single Point Setup
options only when Single Point Setup is disabled.
Icons on the right side of the page indicate whether Single Point Setup is enabled
and, if it is, the number of WAP devices that are currently joined in the cluster.
STEP 2 With Single Point Setup disabled, configure the following information for each
individual member of a Single Point Setup cluster.
Location—Enter a description of where the access point is physically
located, for example, Reception. The location field is optional.
Cluster Name—Enter the name of the cluster for the WAP device to join, for
example Reception_Cluster.
The cluster name is not sent to other WAP devices. You must configure the
same name on each device that is a member. The cluster name must be
unique for each Single Point Setup you configure on the network. The default
is ciscosb-cluster.
Clustering IP Version—Specify the IP version that the WAP devices in the
cluster use to communicate with other members of the cluster. The default is
IPv4.
If you choose IPv6, Single Point Setup can use the link local address,
autoconfigured IPv6 global address, and statically configured IPv6 global
address. Ensure that when using IPv6, all the WAP devices in the cluster
either use link-local addresses only or use global addresses only.
Single Point Setup works only with devices using the same type of IP
addressing. It does not work with a group of WAP devices where some have
IPv4 addresses and some have IPv6 addresses.
STEP 3 Click Enable Single Point Setup.
