3. Select an Access Point Type from the following options:
• Virtual Controller AP - When more than one access points are deployed, a single access
point can function as a Virtual Controller AP. Up to 24 access points can be connected to,
and managed by a single Virtual Controller AP. These connected access points must be the
same model as the Virtual Controller AP. For more information, see Virtual Controller AP
Mode on page 3-20.
• Standalone AP - Select this option to deploy this access point as an autonomous access
point. A standalone AP is not managed by a Virtual Controller AP, or adopted by a RFS
series wireless controller. For more information, see Standalone Mode on page 3-20.
NOTE
If designating the access point as a Standalone AP, Brocade recommends the access point’s UI be
used exclusively to define its device configuration, and not the CLI. The CLI provides the ability to
define more than one profile and the UI does not. Consequently, the two interfaces cannot be used
collectively to manage profiles without an administrator encountering problems.
