10.4.2 Switch Configuration

Both a WS5100 (running firmware version 3.1 or later) or a RFS7000 (running firmware version 1.1 or
later) require 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:

1.

Select

Network

>

Access Port Radios

from the switch main menu tree.

2.

Select the

Configuration

tab (should be displayed be default) and click the

Global

Settings

button.

3.

Ensure the

Adopt unconfigured radios automatically

option is NOT selected.

When disabled, there is no automatic adoption of non-configured radios on the network.
Additionally, default radio settings will NOT be applied to access ports when automatically
adopted.

Any WLAN configured on the switch becomes an extended WLAN by default for an AAP.

4.

Select

Network

>

Wireless LANs

from the switch main menu tree.

NOTE

For IPSec deployments, refer to

Sample Switch Configuration File for

IPSec and Independent WLAN on page 10-20

and take note of the CLI

commands in red and associated comments in green.
