Adaptive AP 10-13
10.4 Establishing Basic Adaptive AP Connectivity
This section defines the activities required to configure basic AAP connectivity with a WS5100,
RFS6000 or RFS7000 model switch. In establishing a basic AAP connection, both the access point and
switch require modifications to their respective default configurations. For more information, see:
• Adaptive AP Configuration
• Switch Configuration
10.4.1 Adaptive AP Configuration
An AAP can be manually adopted by the switch, adopted using a configuration file (consisting of the
adaptive parameters) pushed to the access point or adopted using DHCP options. Each of these
adoption techniques is described in the sections that follow.
10.4.1.1 Adopting an Adaptive AP Manually
To manually enable the access point’s switch discovery method and connection medium required for
adoption:
1. Select System Configuration -> Adaptive AP Setup from the access point’s menu tree.
NOTE Refer to Adaptive AP Deployment Considerations on page 10-19 for usage
and deployment caveats that should be considered before defining the
AAP configuration
. Refer to Sample Switch Configuration File for IPSec
and Independent WLAN on page 10-20 if planning to deploy an AAP
configuration using IPSec VPN and an extended WLAN.
CAUTION If deploying the access point as an AAP with a remote layer 3
configuration and the AAP is set for switch auto discovery
(primary/standby), the access point will un-adopt from its switch after
a few moments. To remedy this problem, ensure LAN1 has 802.1q
trunking enabled and the correct management VLAN defined.
