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 How the AP Receives its Adaptive
Configuration 477
.

Enable AP-Switch
Tunnel

This setting is required to enable an IPSec VPN from the AAP to the Wireless Switch.
