Table 36
describes the cluster information to configure for a member.
MAC Address
Media Access Control (MAC) address of 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.
IP Address
The IP address for the access point.
Each IP address is a link to the Administration Web
pages for that access point. You can use the links to
navigate to the Administration Web pages 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.
