Establishing basic adaptive AP connectivity

Switch configuration
A Brocade Mobility RFS7000-GR Controller requires an explicit adaptive configuration to adopt an
access point (if IPSec is not being used for adoption). The same licenses currently used for access
port adoption can be used for an AAP.
Disable the switch’s Adopt unconfigured radios automatically option and manually add AAPs
requiring adoption, or leave as default. In default mode, any AAP adoption request is honored until
the current switch license limit is reached.
To disable automatic adoption on the switch:
1. Select Network > Access Port Radios from the switch main menu tree.
2. Select the Configuration tab (should be displayed be default) and click the Global Settings
button.
3. Ensure the Adopt unconfigured radios automatically option is NOT selected.
When disabled, there is no automatic adoption of non-configured radios on the network.
Additionally, default radio settings will NOT be applied to access ports when automatically
adopted.
NOTE
For IPSec deployments, refer to “Sample switch configuration file for IPSec and independent
WLAN” on page 557 and take note of the CLI commands in red and associated comments in
green.
Any WLAN configured on the switch becomes an extended WLAN by default for an AAP.
4. Select Network > Wireless LANs from the switch main menu tree.
5. Select the target WLAN you would like to use for AAP support from those displayed and click
the Edit button.
6. Select the Independent Mode (AAP Only) checkbox.
Selecting the checkbox designates the WLAN as independent and prevents traffic from being
forwarded to the switch. Independent WLANs behave like WLANs as used on a a standalone
access point. Leave this option unselected (as is by default) to keep this WLAN an extended
WLAN (a typical centralized WLAN created on the switch).
