Cluster mode
A cluster is a set of wireless controllers working collectively to provide redundancy and load
sharing. You can discover wireless controllers in cluster mode.
To verify that the wireless controller is in cluster mode, check the following:
1. Check the Properties dialog box.
Right-click the wireless controller and select Properties.
The Properties dialog box displays.
• If the controller is the active controller, the Access Points tab is included.
• If the controller is the standby controller, the Access Points tab is not included.
2. Check the Detailed AP Products report (refer to “AP Products report” on page 468).
For wireless controllers in cluster mode, it should show the cluster name ( “Detailed AP

In the Wired Products report, click the controller in cluster mode to display the Cluster details:

4. Check the port group ( “Port Groups” on page 131) connected to the AP.
