Configured APs Have Precedence Over Unconfigured APs
When a switch determines the switch IP address to send to a booting AP, the switch gives preference
to APs that are already configured, over unconfigured APs that require an Auto-AP profile. The switch
can direct a configured AP to a switch that has active APs configured using the Auto-AP profile, even if
the switch does not have capacity for more active APs. In this case, the switch randomly selects an AP
using the Auto-AP profile to disconnect, and accepts a connection from the configured AP in its place.
The disconnected AP can then begin the boot process again to find another switch that has an Auto-AP
profile. When the AP is disconnected, the AP’s clients experience a service disruption, and will attempt
to associate with another AP if available to reconnect to the SSID they were using. If another AP is not
available to a client, the client can still reconnect after the disconnected AP is connected to a new switch
and finishes the boot and configuration process.
Configuring an Auto-AP Profile
The Auto-AP profile for Distributed AP configuration is like an individual AP configuration, except the
configuration has the name auto instead of a Distributed AP number.
To create an Auto-AP profile for automatic Distributed AP configuration, type the following command:
DWS-1008#
set dap auto
success: change accepted.
To display the AP settings in the Auto-AP profile, type the following command:
DWS-1008#
show dap config auto
Dap auto:
mode: disabled
bias: high fingerprint
boot-download-enable: YES
force-image-download: NO
Radio 1: type: 802.11g, mode: enabled, channel: dynamic
tx pwr: 15, profile: default auto-tune max-power: default
Radio 2: type: 802.11a, mode: enabled, channel: dynamic
tx pwr: 11, profile: default auto-tune max-power: default
This example shows the defaults for the AP parameters you can configure in the Auto-AP profile. The
table on the next page lists the configurable Auto-AP profile parameters and their defaults. The only
parameter that requires configuration is the Auto-AP profile mode. The Auto-AP profile is disabled by
default. To use the Auto-AP profile to configure Distributed APs, you must enable the profile.
