Field Description
Managed AP
Administrative Mode
Click Enabled to allow the AP and switch to discover each other. If the AP successfully
authenticates itself with a wireless switch, you will not be able to access the
Administrator UI.
Click Disabled to prevent the AP from contacting wireless switches.
Switch IP address Enter the IP address of up to four wireless switches that can manage the AP. You can
enter the IP address in dotted format or as an DNS name.
You can view a list of wireless switches on your network that were configured by using
a DHCP server.
The AP attempts to contact Switch IP Address 1 first.
Base IP Port The starting IP port number used by the wireless feature (in a range of 10 consecutive
port numbers). Only the first number in the range is configurable. The default value is
57775 (through 57784).
Note: When the wireless Base IP Port number is changed on the switch, the wireless
feature is automatically disabled and re ‐ enabled. The new value is not sent as part of
the global switch configuration in the cluster configuration distribution command;
every switch in the cluster must be configured independently with the new Wireless IP
port number.
Note: When the Wireless Base IP Port number is changed from its default value on the
switch, it must also be changed on the Access Points.
Pass Phrase Select the Edit option and enter a passphrase to allow the AP to authenticate itself with
the wireless switch. The passphrase must be between 8 and 63 characters.
To remove the password, select Edit , delete the existing password, and then click
Apply .
You must configure the same passphrase on the switch.
