Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
RIP is an interior gateway protocol that specifies how routers exchange routing-table information.
The parent Router screen also allows the administrator to select the type of RIP and the type of RIP
authentication used.
For detailed information on configuring RIP functionality as part of the access point’s Router
functionality, see Setting the RIP Configuration on page 5-179.
Manual Date and Time Settings
As an alternative to defining a NTP server to provide access point system time, the access point can
now have its date and time set manually. A new Manual Date/Time Setting screen can be used to
set the time using a Year-Month-Day HH:MM:SS format. Mobility 7131 Access Point
For detailed information on manually setting the access point’s system time, see Configuring
Network Time Protocol (NTP) on page 4-100.
Dynamic DNS
The access point supports the Dynamic DNS service. Dynamic DNS (or DynDNS) is a feature
offered by www.dyndns.com allowing the mapping of domain names to dynamically assigned IP
addresses. When the dynamically assigned IP address of a client changes, the new IP address is
sent to the DynDNS service and traffic for the specified domain(s) is routed to the new IP address.
For information on configuring Dynamic DNS, see Configuring Dynamic DNS on page 5-135.
Auto Negotiation
Auto negotiation enables the access point to automatically exchange information about data
transmission speed and duplex capabilities. Auto negotiation is helpful when using the access
point in an environment where different devices are connected and disconnected on a regular
basis. For information on configuring the auto negotiation feature, see Configuring the LAN
Interface on page 5-115 or Configuring WAN Settings on page 5-127.
Adaptive AP
An adaptive AP (AAP) is an access point that can adopt like a br300 (L3). The management of an
AAP is conducted by a switch, once the access point connects to a Brocade RFS4000, RFS6000 or
RFS7000 model switch and receives its AAP configuration.
An AAP provides:
• local 802.11 traffic termination
• local encryption/decryption
• local traffic bridging
• the tunneling of centralized traffic to the wireless switch
For a information overview of the adaptive AP feature as well as how to configure it, refer to
Adaptive AP on page 10-471.
