6.7 Navigating To Configuration Information For A
Specific AP And Managing Standalone APs
In general, the 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway is designed for central management of
clustered access points. For access points in a cluster, all access points in the cluster
reflect the same configuration. In this case, it does not matter which access point
you actually connect to for administration.
There may be situations, however, when you want to view or manage information
on a particular access point. For example, you might want to check status informa-
tion such as client associations or events for an access point. Or you might want to
configure and manage features on an access point that is running in standalone
mode. In these cases, you can navigate to the Administration Web interface for indi-
vidual access points by clicking the IP address links on the Access Point’s tab.
All clustered access points are shown on the Cluster > Access Points page. To navi-
gate to clustered access points, you can simply click on the IP address for a specific
cluster member shown in the list.
6.7.1 Navigating To An AP By Using Its IP Address In A URL
You can also link to the Administration Web pages of a specific access point by
entering the IP address for that access point as a URL directly into a Web browser
address bar in the following form:
http://IPAddressOfAccessPoint
where IPAddressOfAccessPoint is the address of the particular access point you
want to monitor or configure.
For standalone access points, this is the only way to navigate to their configuration
information.
