Wireless Controller
Status > Global Info > Peer Controller > Status
The Peer Controller Status page provides information about other Wireless
Controllers in the network. Peer wireless controllers within the same cluster
exchange data about themselves, their managed APs, and clients. The controller
maintains a database with this data so you can view information about a peer, such
as its IP address and software version. If the controller loses contact with a peer, all
of the data for that peer is deleted. One controller in a cluster is elected as a Cluster
Controller. The Cluster Controller collects status and statistics from all the other
controllers in the cluster, including information about the APs peer controllers
manage and the clients associated to those APs.

Peer Controllers: Displays the number of peer controller in the cluster.
