Wireless Controller
User Manual

Discovered
: The AP is discovered and by the controller, but is not yet
authenticated.
Authenticated
: The AP has been validated and authenticated (if
authentication is enabled), but it is not configured.
Managed
: The AP profile configuration has been applied to the AP and
it's operating in managed mode.
Failed
: The controller lost contact with the AP, a failed entry will
remain in the managed AP database unless you remove it. Note that a
managed AP will temporarily show a failed status during a reset.
Note: When management connectivity is lost for a managed AP, then both
radios of the AP are turned down. All the clients associated with the AP get
disassociated. The radios become operational if and when that AP is
managed again by a controller.
Profile
: The AP profile configuration currently applied to the managed AP. The
profile is assigned to the AP in the valid AP database.
Radio Interface
: Shows the wireless radio mode that each radio on the AP is using.
4.1.4 Cluster information
Status > Device Info > Cluster Information
The Peer Controller Status page provides information about other wireless controller
in the network.Peer wireless contoreller within the same cluster exchange data about
themselves, their managed APs, and clients. The controller maintains a database
with this data so you can view information about a peer, such as its IP address and
software version. If the controller loses contact with a peer, all of the data for that
peer is deleted.
One of the controller in a cluster is elected as a Cluster Controller. The Cluster
Controller collects status and statistics from all the other controllers in the cluster,
including information about the APs peer controller manage and the clients
associated to those APs.
