3. Refer to the 12 available Switch IP Addresses to review the addresses the access point uses to
adopt with a switch.
The access point contacts each switch on the list (from top to bottom) until a viable switch
adoption is made. The access point first populates the list with the IP addresses received from
its DHCP resource. If DHCP is not able to obtain IP addresses, the access point attempts to
resolve the switch's Domain Name if provided within the Switch FQDN parameter. However, if
the access point receives one or more IP addresses from the DHCP server, it will not solicit an
IP address from a user provided domain name. Lastly, provide static (manually provided) IP
addresses to the list as long as there is room. The access point will defer to these addresses if
DHCP and a provided domain address fail to secure a switch adoption.
4. Click Apply to save any changes to the Adaptive AP Setup screen. Navigating away from the
screen without clicking the Apply button results in all changes to the screen being lost.
5. Click Undo Changes (if necessary) to undo any changes made. Undo Changes reverts the
settings displayed on the Adaptive AP Setup screen to the last saved configuration.
6. Click Logout to securely exit the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point Access Point
applet. A prompt displays confirming the logout before the applet is closed.
Configuring data access
Use the Access screen to allow/deny management access to the access point from different
subnets (LAN1, LAN2 or WAN) using different protocols such as HTTPS, SSH2 or SNMP. The access
options are either enabled or disabled. It is not meant to function as an ACL in routers or other
firewalls, where you can specify and customize specific IPs to access specific interfaces.
Use the Access screen checkboxes to enable or disable LAN1, LAN2 and/or WAN access using the
protocols and ports listed. If access is disabled, this effectively locks out the administrator from
configuring the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point using that interface. To avoid
jeopardizing the network data managed by the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point, Brocade
recommends enabling only those interfaces used in the routine (daily) management of the
network, and disabling all other interfaces until they are required.
Switch Interface Use the Switch Interface drop-down menu to specify the interface
used by the switch for connectivity with the access point. Options
include LAN1, LAN2 and WAN. The default setting is LAN1.
Enable AP-Switch
Tunnel This setting is required to enable an IPSec VPN from the AAP to the
Wireless Switch.
Keep-alive Period The Keepalive interval defines a period (in seconds) the AAP uses
to terminate its connection to the switch if no data is received.
Current Switch Displays the IP address of the connected switch. This is the switch
from which the access point receives its adaptive configuration.
AP adoption State Displays whether the access point has been adopted by the switch
(whose IP address is listed in the Current Switch parameter). The
access point cannot receive its adaptive configuration without
association. A standalone access point can be adopted by a
wireless switch. A standalone AP also supports operations without
being adopted by a switch.
