Viewing the System Cluster Overview

The system cluster overview provides summary information of the controller cluster.

To view the cluster settings:
  • From the left pane of the application, click System > Cluster. The Cluster page appears.

  • Control Planes and Data Planes
    Control planes and data planes are used to control traffic.
  • Interface and Routing
    To configure a cluster node, you must define interface and routing information.
  • Displaying the Chassis View of Cluster Nodes
    The chassis view provides a graphical representation of the control panel (on the front panel of the controller), including the LEDs.
  • Cluster Redundancy
    If you have multiple clusters on the network, you can configure cluster redundancy to enable APs managed by a particular cluster to failover automatically to another cluster if their parent cluster goes out of service or becomes unavailable.
  • Configuring the Control Plane
    Control Plane configuration includes defining the physical interface, user defined interface and static routes.
  • Configuring the Data Plane
    By default, the controller sends traffic from its data plane from a single interface.
  • Monitoring Cluster Settings
    This section provides information on how to view the status of the cluster settings.
  • Creating DP Zone Affinity Profile
    The vSZ-D version in the same zone affinity profile must be the same for consistent AP/DP functioning.
  • Enabling Flexi VPN
    You can enable Flexi-VPN and limit the network resources that a UE can access. Flexi-VPN allows an administrator to customize the network topology, and is thereby able to control the network resources accessible to the end-user. This feature is only supported on vSZ-E and vSZ-H, and is enabled by purchasing the Flexi-VPN license.
  • Enabling L3 Roaming Criteria for DP
    Using the layer 3 roaming feature, clients can roam across APs in the network (from one data plane to another data plane). This is typically required when the number of clients in the network increases and clients have to roam from a network that they were connected to, to another WLAN network with similar access settings. This feature enables seamless roaming and ensures session continuity between the client and the network.
