Licensing - Brocade Communications Systems RFS6000 System Reference Manual

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 Brocade
Mobility 300 Access Point
and/or AAPs are deployed, you must ensure the license used by the switch supports the number of
radio ports (both Brocade Mobility 300 Access Points and AAPs) you intend to adopt.
Switch Discovery
For an br-5181 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:
•
•
NOTE
To support switch discovery, a switch must be running firmware version 3.1 or higher. The Access
Point must running firmware version 2.0 or higher.
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:
For AAP 2.0 the Vendor ID is: MotorolaAP.51xx-V2-0-0
For AAP 2.3.1 the Vendor ID is: MotorolaAP.51xx-V2-3-1.
