Configuring LBS on Access Points

Use CLI to configure LBS on your access point. Beginning in privileged EXEC
mode, follow these steps to configure LBS:

1. Enter global configuration mode.

configure terminal

2. Create an LBS profile for the access point and enter LBS configuration

mode.

dot11 lbs profile-name

3. Enter the IP address of the location server and the port on the server where

the access point sends UDP packets that contain location information.

server-address ip-address port port

4. (Optional) Select the location method that the access point uses when

reporting location information to the location server.

In this release,

rssi

(where the access point measures the location packet

RSSI) is the only option and is also the default.

method {rssi}

5. (Optional) Select the packet type that the access point accepts from the

LBS tag.
short - The access point accepts short location packets from the tag. In

short packets, the LBS information is missing from the tag packet frame
body and the packet indicates the tag transmit channel.

extended - This is the default setting. The access point accepts extended

packets from the tag. An extended packet contains two bytes of LBS
information in the frame body. If the packet does not contain those two
bytes in the frame body, the access point drops the packet.

packet-type {short | extended}

6. (Optional) Specifies that the LBS packet sent by the tag must match the

radio channel on the access point that receives the packet.

If the channel used by the tag and the channel used by the access point
don’t match, the access point drops the packet. Channel match is enabled
by default.

channel-match

7. (Optional) Specifies the multicast address that the tag uses when it sends

LBS packets. The default multicast address is 01:40:96:00:00:10.

multicast-address mac-address

8. Specify the radio interface on the LBS profile that is enabled.

The 2.4 GHz radio is radio 0, and the 5 GHz radio is radio 1. The profile
remains inactive until you enter this command.
