Switch Configuration - Brocade Communications Systems RFS6000 System Reference Manual

A
NOTE
When an Adaptive AP is adopted over an IP Sec Tunnel you cannot export the configuration file to a
system on the other side of the IP Sec Tunnel. You may still export the configuration file to a system
local to the AAP.
Adopting an Adaptive AP Using DHCP Options
An AAP can be adopted to a wireless switch by providing the following options in the DHCP Offer:
Option
189
190
191
192
NOTE
Options 189 and 192 are mandatory to trigger adoption using DHCP options. Unlike an Brocade
Mobility 300 Access Point, option 189 alone won't work. These options can be embedded in Vendor
Specific Option 43 and sent in the DHCP Offer.

Switch Configuration

A Brocade RF Switch (running firmware version 3.1 or later) requires an explicit adaptive
configuration to adopt an Access Point (if IPSec is not being used for adoption). The same licenses
currently used for Brocade Mobility 300 Access Point adoption can be used for an AAP.
Disable the switch's Adopt unconfigured radios automatically option and manually add AAPs
requiring adoption, or leave as default. In default mode, any AAP adoption request is honored until
the current switch license limit is reached.
To disable automatic adoption on the switch:
1. Select Network > Access Port Radios from the switch main menu tree.
2. Select the Configuration tab (should be displayed be default) and click the Global Settings
518
Either import the configuration manually to other APs or the same AP later (if you elect to
default its configuration). Use DHCP option 186 and 187 to force a download of the
configuration file during startup (when it receives a DHCP offer).
