B.4 Establishing Basic Adaptive AP Connectivity
This section defines the activities required to configure basic AAP connectivity with the 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
B.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.
B.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.
2. Select the Auto Discovery Enable checkbox.
Enabling auto discovery will allow the AAP to be detected by a switch once its connectivity medium has been
configured (by completing steps 3-6).
NOTE Refer to Adaptive AP Deployment Considerations 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 if planning to
deploy an AAP configuration using IPSec VPN and an extended WLAN.
NOTE
Auto discovery must be enabled for a switch to detect an AP.
