Re: WAP121 compability with new Cisco Access Points

staalerian · ‎11-17-2020

Hi.

We have 4 pcs WAP121 access points setup in a cluster (single point of setup)

Are the cluster setup compatible with new access points?

If so what kind/number?

Or do we have to change all of them/replace them, to extend the the range?

A cluster can be created only among the same model of two or more WAPs that have the same Product Identification (PID) and firmware versions, each of which has Single Point Setup enabled and reference the same Single Point Setup name.

Hi,

A cluster supports only a group of configured WAP121 devices (same model) or a group of configured WAP321 devices (same model). A single cluster does not support a mix of WAP121 and WAP321 devices in the same group.
