CAPWAP
CAPWAP is a standard interoperable protocol
that enables the AP Manager to manage a
collection of Wireless Access Points. For a
complete CAPWAP setup, configuration on the
Access Points is required. Please refer to the
User Manual for more detailed information.
CAPWAP Configuration
CAPWAP Status:
Enable/Disable CAPWAP to
allow or block APs from establishing a CAPWAP
tunnel to the AP Manager.
Apply Certificate to APs:
This field allows the
administrator to select which certificate will be
used during CAPWAP negotiation between the
AP Manager and the Access Points. If the
selected certificate is invalid, the negotiation
will be unsuccessful and the AP will not be
automatically added in the AP List. All 4ipnet AP
Managers and Access Points are configured
with 4ipnet default Certificates. Other signed
certificates can be uploaded to both the APM
and the Access Points.
IP Address for Control Channel:
A control
channel will be established once an AP is
managed through CAPWAP. For the AP Manager
to be able to manage the APs via the control
channel, this IP address will be assigned to the
AP Manager’s end of the control channel. Note
that this IP address should not conflict with any
subnets of the configured IPs in your network.
IP Netmask for Control Channel:
The
subnet mask is corresponding to IP Address for
Control Channel and the netmask value is
based on the maximum number of managed
APs of the AP Manager.
Control Channel IP Range:
After configuring
IP Address for Control Channel and the IP
Netmask for Control Channel, the Control
Channel IP Range will be determined
automatically. An IP address from this range
will be assigned to the AP end of the control
channel
when
CAPWAP
is
established
successfully. The number of IPs in this range is
determined automatically by the capacity of
managed APs.
Access Controller IP List
The AP Manager can statically designate other
CAPWAP supported management devices as a
backup for managing APs in case it can no
longer provide service. Up to 5 IPs of either APM
or WHG models can be used as backups. The
APs being managed will attempt to connect
with the IPs starting from the top of the list.
IP Address:
IP Address of a backup APM or
WHG.
Remark:
Optional description of APM or WHG
for better management.
