Configuring Auto AP

The auto AP feature allows an AP to automatically connect to an AC. When you deploy a wireless

network with many APs, the auto AP function avoids configuration of many AP serial IDs, thus

simplifying configuration.

Follow these steps to configure auto AP:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enable the auto-AP function

wlan auto-ap enable

Optional

Enabled by default.

Enter AP template view

wlan ap ap-name model
model-name

The model number of the AP is
specified only if an AP template
is created

Set auto-AP serial ID

serial-id auto

Required

Exit AP template view

quit

Convert auto AP into
configured AP

wlan auto-ap persistent
{ name auto-ap-name
[ new-ap-name ] | all }

Optional

Configuring CAPWAP Dual-Link (Supported only on ACs)

Follow these steps to configure CAPWAP dual-link:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Specify the address of the
backup AC

wlan backup-ac { ip ipv4-address |
ipv6 ipv6-address }

Required.

By default, no backup AC
address exists.

Enter AP template view

wlan ap ap-name model model-name

The model number needs to
be specified only during new
AP template creation.

Specify the AP connection
priority for the AC

priority level priority

Optional

By default, the AP connection
priority of the AC is 4.

If an AC has an AP
connection priority of 7, the
AC becomes the primary AC.
When the primary AC fails
and then recovers, it will
re-establish connections with
APs and become the master
AP.
