join-cluster <IP> user <USERNAME> password <WORD> {level [1|2]|mode [active|standby]}


join-cluster	Adds a access point wireless controller, or service platform to an existing cluster
<IP>	Specify the cluster member's IP address.

Usage Guidelines

To add a device to an existing cluster:

Configure a static IP address on the device (access point, wireless controller, or service platform).
Provide username and password for superuser, network admin, system admin, or operator accounts.

After adding a device to a cluster, execute the "write memory" command to ensure the configuration persists across reboots.
