Adopting an Adaptive AP Using DHCP Options

Controller Configuration
A Brocade RF Controller (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 Mobility 300 adoption can be used for an AAP.
Disable the controller'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 controller license limit is reached.
To disable automatic adoption on the controller:
1. Select Network > Access Point Radios from the controller main menu tree.
2. Select the Configuration tab (should be displayed be default) and click the Global Settings

Adopting an Adaptive AP Manually
parameters.
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).
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 conifguration file to
a system local to the AAP.

NOTE
Options 189 and 192 are mandatory to trigger adoption using DHCP options. Unlike a Mobility

43 and sent in the DHCP Offer.
