Establishing Basic Adaptive AP Connectivity

1. Ensure enough licenses are available on the controller to adopt the required number of AAPs.
2. As soon as the AAP displays in the adopted list:
3. Configure each VPN tunnel with the VLANs to be extended to it.
Establishing Basic Adaptive AP Connectivity
This section defines the activities required to configure basic AAP connectivity with the controller. In
establishing a basic AAP connection, both the Access Point and controller require modifications to
their respective default configurations. For more information, see:

Adaptive AP Configuration
An AAP can be manually adopted by the controller, 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.
Adopting an Adaptive AP Manually
To manually enable the Access Point's controller discovery method and connection medium
required for adoption:
534
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 a Mobility
300 model Access Point. Optionally, configure WLANs as independent and assign to AAPs as
needed.
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.
