Cluster
The dashboard provides a visual overview on each cluster deployed on the network, displaying the following information:
- Total AP load per cluster
- Total Client load per cluster
- Status of each controller and access point in a cluster
- Health of each cluster
Traditionally, cluster dashboard was visible only on the managed network. However, starting from ArubaOS 8.7.0.0, cluster dashboard can be accessed using all nodes. To view the dashboard, navigate to in the WebUI. By default, the cluster dashboard displays the cluster with the highest AP load.
Following dashboard displays the cluster with the highest AP load. It also displays the number of active, standby and free APs for a given cluster.

To view the client load, you can select client load to display the clusters with the highest client load from the drop-down menu.
Figure 2 The Dashboard with Highest Client Load
The dashboard consists of an section and section. Click on the AP load page or client load page to view more details.
- : Displays the proportional distribution and number of active, standby, and free APs. Hover your mouse above a section of the chart to view the count for that AP type:
- Free AP Load
- Active AP Load
- Standby AP Load
- Total AP Load
- : Displays the proportional distribution and number of active, standby, and free stations (clients). Hover your mouse above a section of the chart to view the count for that station type:
- Free STA Load
- Active STA Load
- Standby STA Load
- Total STA Load
To view in-depth information of each cluster member, click on the hyperlinked number under the column of the table. A pop-up window is displayed that contains a summary of each cluster member such as hostname, IP address, the cluster roles and so on. You can expand a particular cluster member to view the connection status and type (L2, L3, or both) of that cluster member as shown in the following figure:
Figure 3 Cluster Member Information
You can click on the tab to view the status of each controller connected to the cluster. It also displays information like the software version each controller is running and the number or APs and clients attached to each controller.
Figure 4 Dashboard Controller Information
Similarly, you can click on to view the status of each AP connected to the cluster. It also displays information like Uptime, which group it belongs to, and the controller it is connected to.
Figure 5 Dashboard Access Points Information
You can also expand each controller or AP for more details on the controller or AP to view the name, IP addresses, MAC Media Access Control. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. addresses, and so on.
