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:

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.
