A dependent mode AP cannot be converted into a standalone AP-5131 through a firmware change. Refer to
the AP-5131 Hardware/ Software Compatibility Matrix within the release notes bundled with the Access
Point firmware.

B.1.4 Licensing
An AAP uses the same licensing scheme as a thin Access Port. This implies an existing license purchased
with a switch can be used for an AAP deployment. Regardless of how many AP300 and/or AAPs are
deployed, you must ensure the license used by the switch supports the number of radio ports (both AP300s
and AAPs) you intend to adopt.
B.1.5 Switch Discovery
For an AP-5131 to function as an AAP (regardless of mode), it needs to connect to a switch to receive its
configuration. There are two methods of switch discovery:
• Auto Discovery using DHCP
• Manual Adoption Configuration
NOTE: To support switch discovery, a switch must be running firmware version 3.1 or
higher. An AP-51xx Access Point must running firmware version 2.0 or higher.
B.1.5.1 Auto Discovery using DHCP
Extended Global Options 189, 190, 191, 192 can be used or Embedded Option 43 - Vendor Specific options can be
embedded in Option 43 using the vendor class identifier: MotorolaAP.51xx-V2-0-0
(separate by comma, semi-colon, or space delimited)
AP-51XX Encryption IPSec Passphrase (Hashed)**
** The AP-5131 uses an encryption key to hash passphrases and security keys. To obtain the encryption
passphrase, configure an AP-5131 with the passphrase and export the configuration file.
Dependent AP-5131 Dual Radio (Switch Required)
Dependent AP-5131 Single Radio (Switch Required)
