Configuring an AP’s global settings
Use the Global Settings screen to define an adoption preference ID for the switch and enable an
option to adopt non-configured radios. This can be helpful when you do not want to change an
Access Port’s configuration but require the Access Port be adopted.
To edit Global Radio configuration settings:
1. Select Network > Access Port Radios from the main menu tree.
2. Click the Configuration tab.
3. Click the Global Settings button to display a screen containing global settings which apply to all
radios on the switch.
4. Set an Adoption Preference ID value between 1 and 65535.
To define a radio as preferred, the Access Port preference ID should be same as the adoption
preference ID. The adoption preference ID is used for AP load-balancing. A switch will
preferentially adopt Access Ports having the same adoption-preference-id as the switch itself.
The Adoption Preference ID defines the switch preference ID. The value can be between 1 and
65535. To define radios as preferred, the Access Port preference ID should be same as the
adoption preference ID. If the value is set to 0, the switch automatically changes the value to
1.
In a layer 3 environment, the Access Port adoption process is somewhat unique, for more
information, see
“Configuring Layer 3 access port adoption”
