broadcast packets on its subnet. To use the ADP discovery method, the ADP
discovery mechanism needs to be enabled on the Aruba Master Mobility
Controller (using the
adp discovery enable
command).
If multicast routing is enabled in the IP network between the AP and the
Master Mobility Controller (which can be any one or more Aruba Mobility
Controllers in the network), the IGMP-Join option should be enabled on the
Aruba Mobility Controller (using the
adp igmp-join enable
command). If
multicast routing is not enabled on the network, the Aruba Mobility
Controllers need to be on the same broadcast domain as the AP or an “IP
Helper” must be configured to direct the broadcast ADP packets to the Aruba
Mobility Controller.
Once these discovery prerequisites are met, the Mobility Controller will
respond to APs with the IP address of the Master Aruba switch. The APs can
then obtain their image and configuration.
To enable ADP on an Aruba Mobility Controller, enter:
(A5000) (config) #adp discovery enable
To enable IGMP-Join on an ADP multicast group on an Aruba Mobility
Controller, enter:
(A5000) (config) #adp igmp-join enable

If you have location-specific configurations for your Access Points, you will need to apply this
configuration information using AP Reprovisioning. Refer to the ArubaOS User Guide for
details on AP Reprovisioning and see the feature description below.
AP Reprovisioning
AP Reprovisioning is the process by which APs are assigned, for example,
location codes. Location codes are important for recalibration and
triangulation. For details on AP Reprovisioning, see the
ArubaOS User Guide .
AP Provisioning
AP Provisioning is useful for brand new APs with default configurations. To
perform AP Provisioning from the GUI:
1. Go to
Maintenance > Program AP
.
On this window, there are two tabs:
Provisioning
and
Reprovisioning
. The
Provisioning tab is selected by default.
