Parameters
Example
RFController(config-wireless)#convert-ap 1 default
Converting an AP to sensor
To convert a BR300 to a sensor:
<ap-index>
[default|sensor|
standalone] Sets the indices of the APs to be converted.
•
<ap-index> – The index of the AP to be converted. This index
can be found from the 'show wireless ap' command.
•
default – Does not force conversion. Lets the AP negotiate its
normal mode of operation with the controller.
•
sensor {static-ip <IP/Mask> {<gateway-IP>}}– Converts an
BR300 to operate as an IPS (Intrusion Prevention System)
sensor.
•
static-ip <IP/Mask> – Optional. Sensor must use
specific static IP address.
•
<IP/Mask> – Sensor IP address and network
mask.
•
<gateway-IP> – Optional. Specify gateway IP address for
sensors
NOTE: The controller will not be able to adopt this AP again until it
is converted back to a BR300 using the sensor
<1-256> revert-to-ap command
NOTE: The controller will not be able to adopt this AP again until
the AP is converted back to a thin-AP using the AP’s
configuration interface.
