How to Configure a Cluster between Two (or more) - DWC-1000 and DWC-2000

Requirements:

DWC-2000 with firmware version: 4.4.0.3B101 or higher

DWC-1000 with firmware version: 4.4.1.2 or higher

Compatible with the latest firmware AP 4.2.0.x and over (DWL-8610, DWL-8600AP, DWL-6700, DWL-6610, DWL-6600AP, DWL-3600AP and DWL-2600AP)

Scenario : 

2 DWC-1000/2000 cluster configured, for a total of 12 AP DWL-x600AP to manage. (This structure may depend on the number of licenses AP, max be extended to 96 access points in combination by the DWC-1000 and 1024 APs peers in association peer DWC-2000)


 
Preparation :

The DWC-1000/2000 has the default IP address 192.168.10.1/24 and the username "admin" and password "admin"

Change IP Address to integrate with your existing infrastructure
