Automatic Retrieval of Configuration
5
5.1
Managed Mode Operations
APs support managed mode operations to retrieve the configuration file from a server
through the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or FTP over Secure Sockets Layer (FTPS), and
automatically update the AP configuration.
The server details for retrieving configuration files are stored in the basic configuration of the
APs. The basic configuration of an AP includes settings specific to an AP, for example, host
name, static IP, and radio configuration settings. When an AP boots up, it performs a GET
operation to retrieve the configuration (.cfg) file from the associated server using the
specified download method.
After the initial configuration is applied to the APs, the configuration can be changed at any
point. You can configure a polling mechanism to fetch the latest configuration by using an
FTP or FTPS client periodically. If the remote configuration is different from the one running
on the AP and if a difference in the configuration file is detected by the AP, the new
configuration is applied. At any given time, APs can fetch only one configuration file, which
may include the configuration details specific to an AP. For configuring polling mechanism
and downloading configuration files, the users are required to provide credentials (username
and password). However, if automatic mode is enabled, the user credentials required to
fetch the configuration file are automatically generated. To enable automatic configuration of
the APs, configure the managed mode command parameters.
Prerequisites
Perform the following checks before configuring the managed mode command parameters:
●
When the APs are in the managed mode, ensure that the APs are not managed by
AirWave.
