Establishing basic Adaptive AP connectivity
A
1. Refer to Adopting an Adaptive AP manually and define the AAP switch connection parameters.
2. Export the AAP’s configuration to a secure location.
Either import the configuration manually to other APs or the same AP later (if you elect to
default its configuration). Use DHCP option 186 and 187 to force a download of the
configuration file during startup (when it receives a DHCP offer).
NOTE
When an Adaptive AP is adopted over an IP Sec Tunnel you cannot export the configuration file to a
system on the other side of the IP Sec Tunnel. You may still export the conifguration file to a system
local to the AAP.
Adopting an Adaptive AP using DHCP options
An AAP can be adopted to a wireless switch by providing the following options in the DHCP Offer:
NOTE
Options 189 and 192 are mandatory to trigger adoption using DHCP options. Option 189 alone
won’t work. These options can be embedded in Vendor Specific Option 43 and sent in the DHCP
Offer.
Switch configuration
A Brocade Mobility RFS7000-GR Controller requires an explicit adaptive configuration to adopt an
Access Point (if IPSec is not being used for adoption). The same licenses currently used for
Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point 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.
