Description
The label at the top of the table shows the MAC address and location of the
AP. The location is the value configured in the Valid AP database.
Type of the AP hardware. It is either DWL-8500AP or DWL-3500AP.
The physical port (in the slot/port format) on the switch that the AP is
connected to either directly or indirectly in the same L3 domain. If the AP is
beyond the L3 network boundary, then 'Unknown' is displayed.
The network IP address of the managed AP.
The AP profile configuration currently applied to the managed AP, the
profile is assigned to the AP in the valid AP database. Note: Once an AP is
discovered and managed by the Unified Switch, if the profile is changed in
the valid AP database (either locally or on the RADIUS server) the AP must
be reset to configure with the new profile.
The current managed state of the AP. The possible values are:
• Discovered - The AP is discovered and by the switch, but is not yet
authenticated.
• Authenticated - The AP has been validated and authenticated (if
authentication is enabled), but it is not configured.
• Managed - The AP profile configuration has been applied to the AP and
it's operating in managed mode.
• Failed - The Unified Switch lost contact with the AP, a failed entry will
remain in the managed AP database unless you remove it. Note that a
managed AP will temporarily show a failed status during a reset.
This status value indicates how the managed AP was discovered, the status is
one of the following values:
• IP Poll Received - The AP was discovered via an IP poll from the
Unified Switch, its IP address is configured in the IP polling list.
• Peer Redirect - The AP was discovered through a peer switch redirect,
the AP tried to associate with another peer switch and learned the
current Unified Switch IP address from the peer (peer learned Unified
Switch IP address in RADIUS server response when validating the AP).
• Switch IP Configured - The managed AP is configured with the Unified
Switch IP address.
• Switch IP DHCP - The managed AP learned the current Unified Switch
IP address through DHCP option 43.
• L2 Poll Received - The AP was discovered through the D-Link Wireless
Device Discovery protocol.
