ADP Configuration
-----------------
key
value
--- -----
discovery enable
igmp-join enable
If ADP discovery is not enabled, use the following command to enable it:
(Aruba2400) (config) # adp discovery enable
When APs are connected to Aruba switches indirectly (via an IP-routed
network), the administrator needs to make sure that multicast routing is enabled
in the network, and that all routers are configured to listen for IGMP joins from
the master Aruba WLAN switch and to route these multicast packets.
Make sure both ADP discovery and IGMP-join options are enabled. Verify using
the
show adp config
command as shown above.
Should ADP discovery or IGMP-join options not be enabled:
z
Enable ADP discovery by entering:
(Aruba2400) (config) # adp discovery enable
z
Enable IGMP join by entering:
(Aruba2400) (config) # adp igmp-join enable
z
Proceed to “Deploying APs in the Network” below.
3 Deploying APs in the Network
You are now ready to physically install the APs and attach them to the network. (For infor-
mation on mounting and powering options please refer to the AP hardware installation
guide that shipped with the AP.)
When deploying APs, note the AP MAC address and serial number against the physical
location. This will be useful in assigning location code identifiers to APs (see
“Assigning
AP Location Codes” below), which will greatly enhance location-based services and wire-
less network calibration.
z
Physically install the Access Point in the desired location.
z
Connect the Access Point to the network port.
z
Make sure power is available to the AP using 802.3af-compliant Power over
Ethernet (PoE) or via the optionally available AC power adapter kits. (The
POWER
and
ENET
LEDs on the AP will respectively indicate power/network
link states.)
z
APs will now attempt to locate their master Aruba WLAN switch in the network.
