Features and Benefits (continued) Clustering and Auto-Management (continued)  Self-managed access points with automatic configuration synchronization The access points in a cluster periodically check that the cluster configuration is consistent, and check for the presence and availability of the other members of the cluster. The administrator can monitor this information through the user interface.  Enhanced local authentication using 802.1x without additional IT setup A cluster can maintain a user authentication server and database stored on the access points. This eliminates the need to install, configure, and maintain a RADIUS infrastructure, and simplifies the administrative task of deploying a secure wireless network.  Hardware watchdog Networking  Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) support for dynamically assigning network configuration information to systems on the LAN  Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) support (for Guest Access) Maintainability  Status, monitoring, and tracking views of the network including session monitoring, client associations, transmit/receive statistics, and event log  Link integrity monitoring to continually verify connection to the client, regardless of network traffic activity levels  Reset configuration option  Firmware upgrade What's Next?
