1. Select Network > Access Port Statu s from the main menu tree.
2. Click the Unadopted AP tab.
The Unadopted AP tab displays the following information:
CAUTION: An access port is required to have a DHCP provided IP address before
attempting layer 3 adoption, otherwise it will not work. Additionally, the access port must
be able to find the IP addresses of the switches on the network. To locate switch IP
addresses on the network:
• Configure DHCP option 189 to specify each switch IP address.
• Configure a DNS Server to resolve an existing name into the IP of the switch. The access
port has to get DNS server information as part of its DHCP information. The default DNS
name requested by an AP300 is “Symbol-CAPWAP-Address”. However, since the default
name is configurable, it can be set as a factory default to whatever value is needed.
Index Displays a numerical identifier used to associate a particular access port with a set of
statistics and can help differentiate the access port from other access ports with similar
attributes.
MAC Address Displays the unique Hardware or Media Access Control (MAC) address for the access port.
access ports with dual radios will have a unique MAC address for each radio. The MAC
address is hard coded at the factory and cannot be modified.
Last Seen (In
Seconds) Displays the time the access port was last seen (observed within the switch managed
network). This value is expressed in seconds. Use this value to assess if the access port is
no longer in communications with the switch.
Number of
Unadopted APs Displays the total number of access ports (at the bottom of the screen) that have been
recognized, but not adopted by the switch.
