B - 18 WiNG 4.4 Switch System Reference Guide
3. Enter up to 12 Switch IP Addresses constituting the target switches 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 switch’s fully qualified domain name (FQDN), enter the name as
the Switch FQDN value.
5. Select the Enable AP-Switch Tunnel option to allow AAP configuration data to reach a switch using a secure VPN
tunnel.
6. If using IPSec as the tunnel resource, enter the IPSec Passkey to ensure IPSec connectivity.
7.
Click Apply to save the changes to the AAP setup.
B.4.1.2 Adopting an Adaptive AP Using a Configuration File
To adopt an AAP using a configuration file:
1. Refer to Adopting an Adaptive AP Manually and define the AAP switch connection parameters.
2. Export the AAP’s configuration to a secure location.
Either import the configuration manually to other APs or the same AP later (if you elect to default its configuration).
Use DHCP option 186 and 187 to force a download of the configuration file during startup (when it receives a DHCP
offer).
B.4.1.3 Adopting an Adaptive AP Using DHCP Options
An AAP can be adopted to a wireless switch by providing the following options in the DHCP Offer:
B.4.2 Switch Configuration
A Motorola Solutions RF Switch (running firmware version 3.1 or later) requires an explicit adaptive configuration to adopt
an Access Point (if IPSec is not being used for adoption). The same licenses currently used for AP300 adoption can be used
for an AAP.
Disable the switch’s Adopt unconfigured radios automatically option and manually add AAPs requiring adoption, or
leave as default. In default mode, any AAP adoption request is honored until the current switch license limit is reached.
To disable automatic adoption on the switch:
NOTE The manual AAP adoption described above can also be conducted using the
Access Point’s CLI interface using the
admin(system.aapsetup)>
command.
NOTE When an Adaptive AP is adopted over an IP Sec Tunnel you cannot export the
configuration file to a system on the other side of the IP Sec Tunnel. You may still
export the configuration file to a system local to the AAP.
Option Data Type Value
189 String <Switch IP Address or Range of IP addresses separated by [, ; <space>]>
190 String <Fully qualified Domain Name for the Wireless Switch>
191 String <Hashed IPSec Passkey - configure on 1 AP and export to get hashed key>
192 String <Value of "1" denotes Non-IPSec Mode and "2" denotes IPSec Mode>
NOTE Options 189 and 192 are mandatory to trigger adoption using DHCP options.
Unlike an AP300, option 189 alone won’t work. These options can be embedded
in Vendor Specific Option 43 and sent in the DHCP Offer.
