"
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.
Configuration Via SNMP
You can configure and trigger the auto configuration remotely via SNMP.
Use the following procedure to have the AP download the configuration file.
Verifying Your Configuration File Upload Via SNMP
You can use SNMP management software to display the configuration file version currently
on the device by using the following MIB.
