Establishing basic adaptive AP connectivity
10
The AAP will begin establishing a connection with the first addresses in the list. If unsuccessful,
the AP will continue down the list (in order) until a connection is established.
4. If a numerical IP address is unknown, but you know a switch’s fully qualified domain name
(FQDN), enter the name as the Switch FQDN value.
5. Select the Enable AP-Switch Tunnel option to allow AAP configuration data to reach a switch
using a secure VPN tunnel.
6. If using IPSec as the tunnel resource, enter the IPSec Passkey to ensure IPSec connectivity.
7. Click Apply to save the changes to the AAP setup.
NOTE
The manual AAP adoption described above can also be conducted using the access point’s CLI
interface using the admin(system.aapsetup)> command.
Adopting an adaptive AP using a configuration file
To adopt an AAP using a configuration file:
1. Refer to Adopting an adaptive AP manually and define the AAP switch connection parameters.
2. Export the AAP’s configuration to a secure location.
Either import the configuration manually to other APs or the same AP later (if you elect to
default its configuration). Use DHCP option 186 and 187 to force a download of the
configuration file during startup (when it receives a DHCP offer).
For instruction on how to use the access point’s configuration import/export functionality, see
“Importing/exporting configurations” on page 92.
For information on updating the access point’s firmware, see “Updating device firmware” on
page 94.
Adopting an adaptive AP using DHCP options
An AAP can be adopted to a wireless switch by providing the following options in the DHCP Offer:
NOTE
Options 189 and 192 are mandatory to trigger adoption using DHCP options. Option 189 alone
won’t work. These options can be embedded in Vendor Specific Option 43 and sent in the DHCP
Offer.
Option Data Type Value
189 String <Switch IP Address or Range of IP addresses separated by [, ; <space>]>
190 String <Fully qualified Domain Name for the Wireless Switch>
191 String <Hashed IPSec Passkey - configure on 1 AP and export to get hashed key>
192 String <Value of "1" denotes Non-IPSec Mode and "2" denotes IPSec Mode>
