Adoption Overrides
Device Overrides
Use the Adoption screen to define the configuration of a preferred Virtual Controller, wireless
controller, or service platform resource used for access point adoption. A Virtual Controller can
adopt up to 24 access points of the same model. The Virtual Controller must also share its VLAN to
peer access points wishing to adopt to it. The Virtual Controllers IP address (or hostname), pool and
routing level must also be defined and made available to connecting peers.
Adoption is the process an access point uses to discover Virtual Controllers available in the
network, pick the most desirable Virtual Controller, establish an association, obtain its
configuration and consider itself provisioned.
At adoption, an access point solicits and receives adoption responses from Virtual Controllers
available on the network.
To define an access point’s Virtual Controller configuration or apply an override to an existing
parameter:
1. Select the Configuration tab from the Web UI.
2. Select Devices from the Configuration tab.
3. Select Device Overrides.
4. Select a target device from the device browser in the lower, left-hand, side of the UI.
5. Select Device Overrides from the Device menu to expand it into sub menu options.
6. Select Adoption.
A screen displays where an access point’s Virtual Controller group, VLAN and network address
information can be defined or overridden for the preferred Virtual Controller resource.
NOTE
A blue override icon (to the left of a parameter) defines the parameter as having an override applied.
To remove an override, go to the Basic Configuration screen’s Device Overrides field and select Clear
Overrides. This will remove all overrides from the device.
