switch, see
For an overview of how to configure both the access point and switch for basic AAP connectivity and
operation, see
B.1.2 Adaptive AP Management
An AAP can be adopted, configured and managed like a thin access port from the wireless switch.
Once an access point connects to a switch and receives its AAP configuration, its WLAN and radio
configuration is similar to a thin access port. An AAP's radio mesh configuration can also be
configured from the switch. However, non-wireless features (DHCP, NAT, Firewall etc.) cannot be
configured from the switch and must be defined using the access point's resident interfaces before
its conversion to an AAP.
"B.3 How the AP Receives its Adaptive
"B.4 Establishing Basic Adaptive AP
NOTE To support AAP functionality, a WS5100 model switch must be running
firmware version 3.1 or higher. The access point must running firmware
version 2.0 or higher to be converted into an AAP.
NOTE An AAP cannot support a firmware download from the wireless switch.
NOTE Configuration changes made on the AP-5131 will not be updated on the
switch. To change the AAP configuration for the AP-5131 make the
changes using the switch's interface.
