Profile Adoption (Auto Provisioning) Configuration
System Profile Configuration
Adoption is the process an access point uses to discover Virtual Controller APs available in the
network, pick the most desirable Virtual Controller, establish an association with the Virtual
Controller and optionally obtain an image upgrade, obtains its configuration and considers itself
provisioned. This is a configurable activity that can be supported within an access point profile and
applied to other access points (of the same model) supported by the profile.
At adoption, an access point solicits and receives multiple adoption responses from Virtual
Controller APs available on the network. These adoption responses contain loading policy
information the access point uses to select the optimum Virtual Controller AP for adoption.
NOTE
An access point configuration does not need to be present for an auto provisioning (adoption) policy
to take effect. Once adopted, and the access point’s configuration is defined and applied by the
Virtual Controller. The auto provisioning policy mapping does not have impact on subsequent
adoptions by the same device.
To define the access point profile’s adoption configuration:
1. Select the Configuration tab from the Web UI.
2. Select Devices.
3. Select System Profile from the options on left-hand side of the UI.
4. Select Adoption.
