WEC8500/WEC8050 (APC) Operation Manual v10.1 312©Samsung Electronics AmericaClusteringThe clustering function comprehensively manages several APC systems in a singlewireless LAN when several APC systems are used to manage a wireless LAN that cannotbe managed by a single APC. The inter-APC handover function is provided by usingclustering. In other words, it can provide the handover function between wireless LANsmanaged by different APC systems.However, if a model is different, it is not interoperated through clustering.Configuration using CLI[Cluster Setting]To use the clustering function, you must configure each APC according to the followingprocedure. Maximum 12 WEC8500 can be grouped in a cluster. Maximum 2 WEC8050can be grouped in a cluster:1 Go to the configure mode of the CLI.WEC8500# configure terminalWEC8500/configure#2 Set the interval and the number of retries to transmit the Keep-alivemessages between APCs in the cluster.o cluster keep-alive-interval [INTERVAL]o cluster keep-alive-retry-count [RETRY_COUNT]Parameter DescriptionINTERVAL Interval to transmit the Keep-alive message(Unit: s, range: 1-30, default: 10)RETRY_COUNT Maximum number of the transmission retries when thereis no response to the Keep-alive message (range: 3-20,default: 3)3 Enable the clustero cluster enable: Enableo no cluster enable: Disable4 To check the configuration information, use the ‘show cluster config’command.WEC8500# show cluster config========================================================CLUSTER CONFIGURATION INFORMATION========================================================KEEP-ALIVE-INTERVAL : 10KEEP-ALIVE-RETRY-COUNT : 3ENABLE : YESOWN-APC-INDEX : 1========================================================[Adding APC to APC List]To add an APC to the cluster, the APC must be added to the APC list first.
