Connecting the Cisco 1520 Series Mesh Access Point to Your Network
Note
The
controller_ip_address
parameter in this command and the next two commands is optional.
If the backup controller is outside the mobility group to which the mesh access point is
connected (the primary controller), then you need to provide the IP address of the primary,
secondary, or tertiary controller, respectively. In each command, the
controller_name
and
controller_ip_address
must belong to the same primary, secondary, or tertiary controller.
Otherwise, the mesh access point cannot join the backup controller.
Step 2
To configure a secondary controller for a specific mesh access point, enter this command:
config ap secondary-base
controller_name Cisco_AP
[
controller_ip_address
]
Step 3
To configure a tertiary controller for a specific mesh access point, enter this command:
config ap tertiary-base
controller_name Cisco_AP
[
controller_ip_address
]
Step 4
To configure a primary backup controller for all mesh access points, enter this command:
config advanced backup-controller primary
backup_controller_name
backup_controller_ip_address
Step 5
To configure a secondary backup controller for all mesh access points, enter this command:
config advanced backup-controller secondary
backup_controller_name
backup_controller_ip_address
Note
To delete a primary or secondary backup controller entry, enter 0.0.0.0 for the controller IP
address.
Step 6
To configure the mesh access point primary discovery request timer, enter this command:
config advanced timers ap-primary-discovery-timeout
interval
where
interval
is a value between 30 and 3600 seconds. The default value is 120 seconds.
Step 7
To configure the mesh access point discovery timer, enter this command:
config advanced timers ap-discovery-timeout
interval
where
interval
is a value between 1 and 10 seconds (inclusive). The default value is 10 seconds.
Step 8
To configure the 802.11 authentication response timer, enter this command:
config advanced timers auth-timeout
interval
where
interval
is a value between 10 and 600 seconds (inclusive). The default value is 10 seconds.
