10.1.4 Licensing

An AAP uses the same licensing scheme as a thin access port. This implies an existing license
purchased with a switch can be used for an AAP deployment. Regardless of how many AP300
and/or AAPs are deployed, you must ensure the license used by the switch supports the number of
radio ports (both AP300s and AAPs) you intend to adopt.

10.1.5 Switch Discovery

For an AP-51XX to function as an AAP (regardless of mode), it needs to connect to a switch to receive
its configuration. There are two methods of switch discovery:
