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,
