5.3.3 Profile Adoption (Auto Provisioning) 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 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:
