Item Description
Remote AP
Remote AP provides a wireless solution for remote branches and offices. It enables you
to configure and control remote APs from the headquarters over the Internet without
deploying an AC in each office or branch.
As shown in the figure below, the AC manages the remote APs over the Internet. The AP
automatically enables local forwarding (whether or not local forwarding is configured
on the AC) to provide wireless access for logged-in clients when the tunnel between the
AP and AC is terminated. However, it does not allow new clients. When a tunnel is
established between the AP and AC again, the AP automatically switches to centralized
forwarding mode and logs off all clients on the remote AP.
•
Enable—Enable the remote AP function.
•
Disable—Disable the remote AP function.
By default, the remote AP function is disabled.
IMPORTANT:
•
If an AP establishes tunnels with both the primary AC and a backup AC, it uses the
backup tunnel to provide wireless access for logged-in clients when the primary
tunnel fails. For more information about AC backup, see "
•
The remote AP and mesh functions cannot be used simultaneously.
Band Navigation
•
Enable—Enable band navigation.
•
Disable—Disable band navigation.
By default, band navigation is disabled.
AP CAR
Enable CAR for the AP to avoid frequent reboots caused by excessive traffic.
Select this box to configure the CIR and CBS for the AP.
By default, CAR is not enabled for an AP.
CIR
Committed information rate, in kbps.
CBS
Committed burst size, in bytes.
When AP CAR is enabled, the CBS is the number of bytes transmitted in 500 ms at the
rate of CIR. For example, if the CIR is 100, the CBS is 50000 bytes by default.
Firmware Update
Configure the AP firmware update function.
You can configure the AP firmware update function on the Advanced > AP, AP > AP
Group, or AP > AP Setup page. You can update specified APs by configuring AP
firmware update functions on different pages. For more information, see "
