Adopting an Adaptive AP Manually
To manually enable the access point’s controller discovery method and connection medium required for
adoption:
1 Select System Configuration > Adaptive AP Setup from the access point’s menu tree.
CAUTION
If deploying the access point as an AAP with a remote layer 3 configuration and the AAP is set for
controller auto discovery (primary/standby), the access point will un-adopt from its controller after a few
moments. To remedy this problem, ensure LAN1 has 802.1q trunking enabled and the correct management
VLAN defined.
2 Select the Auto Discovery Enable checkbox.
Enabling auto discovery will allow the AAP to be detected by a controller once its connectivity
medium has been configured (by completing steps 3-6)
3
Enter up to 12 Controller IP Addresses constituting the target controllers available for AAP connection.
The AAP will begin establishing a connection with the first addresses in the list. If unsuccessful, the
AP will continue down the list (in order) until a connection is established.
4 If a numerical IP address is unknown, but you know a controller’s fully qualified domain name
(FQDN), enter the name as the Controller FQDN value.
5
Select the Enable AP-Controller Tunnel option to allow AAP configuration data to reach a controller
using a secure VPN tunnel.
