Cluster provides a centralized cluster firmware upgrade feature that allows all the APs in the cluster to be
upgraded from the Dominant AP (Cluster Controller). The Cluster firmware upgrade can be performed only
from the Dominant AP.

information is shown:
•

•
IP Address
—The IP address for the access point.

MAC Address
—Media Access Control (MAC) address of the access point. The address is the MAC
address for the bridge (br0), and is the address by which the WAP device is known externally to other
networks.
•
Current Firmware Version
—The current running firmware version for the access point.
