Single Point Setup
Single Point Setup Overview
Cisco Small Business WAP551 and WAP561 Wireless-N Access Point 153
10
Single Point Setup allows the management of more than one cluster in the same
subnet or network; however, they are managed as single independent entities.
The table below shows Single Point Setup wireless service limits.
A cluster can propagate configuration information, such as VAP settings, QoS
queue parameters, and radio parameters. When you configure Single Point Setup
on a device, settings from that device (whether they are manually set or set by
default) are propagated to other devices as they join the cluster. To form a cluster,
make sure the following prerequisites or conditions are met:
STEP 1 Plan your Single Point Setup cluster. Be sure the two or more WAP devices you
want to cluster are compatible with each other. For example, Cisco WAP551
devices can only cluster with other Cisco WAP551 or WAP561 devices.
NOTE It is strongly recommended to run the latest firmware version on all
clustered WAP devices. Firmware upgrades are not propagated to all WAP
devices in a cluster; you must upgrade each device independently.
STEP 2 Set up the WAP devices that will be clustered on the same IP subnet and verify
that they are interconnected and accessible across the switched LAN network.
STEP 3 Enable Single Point Setup on all WAP devices. See Access Points.
STEP 4 Verify that the WAP devices all reference the same Single Point Setup name. See
Access Points.
NOTE For two devices to be in the same Single Point Setup, they do not need to have the
same number of radios; however, the supported capabilities of the radios should
be same.
