Peer Switch Status
The
Peer Switch Status
page provides information about other Unified Wireless Switches in the network. To
access the peer switch information, click
WLAN > Monitoring > Peer Switch
.
Peer wireless switches within the same cluster exchange data about themselves, their managed APs, and
clients. The switch maintains a database with this data so you can view information about a peer, such as its
IP address and software version. If the switch loses contact with a peer, all of the data for that peer is deleted.
One switch in a cluster is elected as a Cluster Controller. The Cluster Controller collects status and statistics
from all the other switches in the cluster, including information about the APs peer switches manage and the
clients associated to those APs.
