controller. on page 556
For an understanding of how AAP support should be configured for the access point and its connected
controller, see
“How the AP Receives Its Adaptive Configuration” on page 559 .
For an overview of how to configure both the access point and controller for basic AAP connectivity
and operation, see
“Establishing Basic Adaptive AP Connectivity” on page 560 .
To configure the access point’s controller discovery method and connection medium, see “Adaptive AP
Setup” on page 70 .
Adaptive AP Management
An AAP can be adopted, configured and managed like a thin access port from the wireless controller.
NOTE
An AAP can support a firmware download from the wireless controller.
Once an access point connects to a controller and receives its AAP configuration, its WLAN and radio
configuration is similar to a thin access port. An AAP's radio mesh configuration can also be configured
from the controller. However, non-wireless features (DHCP, NAT, Firewall etc.) cannot be configured
from the controller and must be defined using the access point's resident interfaces before its conversion
to an AAP.
