Adaptive AP setup
4
NOTE
The Adaptive AP Setup screen does not display the AAP’s adoption status or adopted switch. This
information is available using the access point’s CLI. To review AAP adoption status and adopted
switch information, see
“BR7131N>admin(system.aap-setup)>show”
To configure the access point’s switch discovery method and connection medium:
1. Select System Configuration -> Adaptive AP Setup from the menu tree.
2. Define the following to prioritize a switch connection scheme and AP interface used to adopt to
the switch.
Control Port
Define the port used by the switch FQDN to transmit and receive
with the AAP. The default control port is 24576.
Switch FQDN
Add a complete switch fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to add
a switch to the 12 available switch IP addresses available for
connection. The access point resolves the name to one or more IP
addresses if a DNS IP address is present. This method is used
when the access point fails to obtain an IP address using DHCP.
PSK
Before the access point sends a packet requesting its mode and
configuration, the switch and the access point require a secure
link using a pre-shared key.
Auto Discovery Enable
When the Auto Discovery Enable checkbox is selected, the access
point begins the switch discovery (adoption) process using DHCP
first, then a user provided domain name, lastly using static IP
addresses. This setting is disabled by default. When disabled, the
AP functions as a standalone access point without trying to adopt
a switch. Consequently, the access point will not be able to obtain
an AAP configuration. For an overview of AAP and instructions on
how to setup the AP and switch, see
