"
If adjacent APs use the same configuration file, you should leave out the
channel setting since they could interfere with each other’s wireless traffic.
Auto Configuration by DHCP
A DHCP response can use options 66 and 67 to assign a TFTP server IP address and a
filename. If the AP is configured as a DHCP client, these settings can be used to perform auto
configuration.
If this feature is enabled and the DHCP response provides a TFTP server IP address and a
filename, the AP will try to download the file from the specified TFTP server. The AP then
uses the file to configure wireless LAN settings.
"
Not all DHCP servers allow you to specify options 66 and 67.
Manual Configuration
Use the following command to manually configure a TFTP server IP address and a file name
for the AP to use for auto provisioning whenever the AP starts up. See

Configuration Via SNMP
