disable (deactivate) clustered access points, and remove access points from the cluster. You
can also modify the location description for an access point. The IP address links provide a
way to navigate to configuration settings and data on an access point.
Standalone access points (those which are not members of the cluster) are not shown on this
page.
Table 6.1 describes the access point settings and information display in detail.
Table 6.1 Access Point Settings
Field Description
Location
Description of where the access point is physically located.
MAC Address
Media Access Control ( MAC ) address of the access point.
A MAC address is a permanent, unique hardware address for any device that represents an interface to the net-
work. 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 AP is known
externally to other networks.
To see MAC addresses for Guest and Internal interfaces on the AP, see the Status > interfaces tab.
IP Address Specifies 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 clus-
ter mode.
