Removing an Access Point from the Cluster
To remove an access point from the cluster, do the following.
1. Select the check box next to the access point.
2. Click Remove from Cluster.
The change will be reflected under Status for that access point; the access point will now show as
standalone (instead of cluster).
Field Description
Location Description of the access point’s physical location.
MAC Address Media Access Control (MAC) address of the access point.
A MAC address is a permanent, unique hardware address for any device that repre-
sents an interface to the network. The MAC address is assigned by the manufacturer.
You cannot change the MAC address. It is provided here for informational purposes as a
unique identifier for the access point.
The address shown here is the MAC address for the bridge (
br0
). This is the address
by which the access point is known externally to other networks.
To see MAC addresses for Guest and Internal interfaces on the access point, see the
Status menu’s Interfaces page.
IP Address Specifies the IP address for the access point. Each IP address is a link to the Web User
Interface for that access point. You can use the links to navigate to the Web User Inter-
face for a specific access point. This is useful for viewing data on a specific access point
to make sure a cluster member is picking up cluster configuration changes, to configure
advanced settings on a particular access point, or to switch a standalone access point to
cluster mode.
Note
In some situations, it is possible for the cluster to lose synchronization. If, after removing an access
point from the cluster, the access point list still reflects the deleted access point or shows an incom-
plete display, refer to the information on Cluster Recovery in “Troubleshooting”.
