B.3.3 Configuring the Switch for Adaptive AP Adoption
The tasks described below are configured on a Motorola RF switch. For information on configuring the switch
for AAP support, see
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 an AP300 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:
described above, see
B.4 Establishing Basic Adaptive AP Connectivity
This section defines the activities required to configure basic AAP connectivity with the switch. In
establishing a basic AAP connection, both the Access Point and switch require modifications to their
respective default configurations. For more information, see:
• Adaptive AP Configuration
• Switch Configuration
NOTE: Refer to
caveats that should be considered before defining the AAP configuration. Refer to
Switch Configuration File for IPSec and Independent WLAN
configuration using IPSec VPN and an extended WLAN
B.4.1 Adaptive AP Configuration
An AAP can be manually adopted by the switch, adopted using a configuration file (consisting of the adaptive
parameters) pushed to the Access Point or adopted using DHCP options. Each of these adoption techniques
is described in the sections that follow.
B.4.1.1 Adopting an Adaptive AP Manually
To manually enable the Access Point's switch discovery method and connection medium required for
adoption:
1. Select System Configuration
