Configuring the Adaptive AP for Adoption by the Switch
1. An AAP needs to find and connect to the switch. To ensure this connection:
• Configure the switch’s IP address on the AAP
• Provide the switch IP address using DHCP option 189 on a DHCP server. The IP address is
a comma delimited string of IP addresses. For example "157.235.94.91, 10.10.10.19".
There can be a maximum of 12 IP addresses.
• Configure the switch’s FQDN on the AAP. The AAP can use this to resolve the IP address of
the switch.
2. Use the switch’s secret password on the AAP for the switch to authenticate it.
For additional information on defining the connection medium used by the access point t
to receive an AAP configuration, see Adaptive AP Setup on page 4-75.
To avoid a lengthy broken connection with the switch, Brocade Mobility recommends
generating an SNMP trap when the AAP loses adoption with the switch.
NOTE
For additional information (in greater detail) on the AP configuration activities described above, see
Adaptive AP Configuration on page 10-479.
Configuring the Switch for Adaptive AP Adoption
The tasks described below are configured on a Brocade Mobility RFS4000, RFS6000 or RFS7000
model switch. For information on configuring the switch for AAP support, see
http://support.symbol.com/support/product/manuals.do .
To adopt an AAP on a switch:
1. Ensure enough licenses are available on the switch to adopt the required number of AAPs.
2. As soon as the AAP displays in the adopted list:
Adjust each AAP’s radio configuration as required. This includes WLAN-radio mappings
and radio parameters. WLAN-VLAN mappings and WLAN parameters are global and
cannot be defined on a per radio basis. WLANs can be assigned to a radio as done today
for a br300 model access port. Optionally, configure WLANs as independent and assign to
AAPs as needed.
3. Configure each VPN tunnel with the VLANs to be extended to it.
If you do not attach the target VLAN, no data will be forwarded to the AAP, only control
traffic required to adopt and configure the AP.
NOTE
For additional information (in greater detail) on the switch configuration activities described above,
see Switch Configuration on page 10-481.
Establishing Basic Adaptive AP Connectivity
This section defines the activities required to configure basic AAP connectivity with a RFS4000,
RFS6000 or RFS7000 model switch. In establishing a basic AAP connection, both the access point
and switch require modifications to their respective default configurations. For more information,
