Set Up, Manage, and Monitor Ensembles An access point (AP) ensemble is a dynamic, configuration-aware group of APs in the same subnet of a network. Each ensemble can include up to 10 members, which must be of the same model. Only one ensemble per WiFi network is supported. However, a network subnet can include multiple ensembles. Ensembles allow APs to share various configuration information, such as virtual AP (VAP) settings and QoS queue parameters. Ensemble members share the configuration of the master AP (also referred to as the dominant AP). With ensemble mode enabled, you can initiate common firmware updates and use a centralized ensemble dashboard to monitor client connectivity and share of traffic across the ensemble members. If an ensemble member fails, the ensemble automatically makes adjustments to ensure that the remaining members work cooperatively. An ensemble can be formed between two more APs if the following conditions are met: • The APs are of the same model, with the exception of model WAC720 and model WAC730, which you can combine in an ensemble. • The APs use the same country or region settings and the same radio mode. • The APs are connected on the same bridged segment.

An ensemble can be formed between two more APs if the following conditions are met:
•
The APs are of the same model, with the exception of model WAC720 and model WAC730, which you
can combine in an ensemble.
