Configuring the AP-12x

AP Provisioning/Reprovisioning

Provisioning parameters are unique to each AP. These local AP parameters are initially configured on 
the Mobility Controller which are then pushed out to the AP and stored on the AP itself. Aruba 
recommends that provisioning settings be configured via the ArubaOS Web UI only. Refer to the 

ArubaOS User Guide

 for complete details.

AP Configuration

Configuration parameters are network or controller specific and are configured and stored on the 
Mobility Controller. Network configuration settings are pushed out to the AP(s) but remain stored on 
the Mobility Controller.

Configuration settings can be configured via the ArubaOS Web UI, ArubaOS CLI, or Aruba MMS. Refer 
to their respective guides for further details: the 

ArubaOS User Guide

 or
