The output displays auto next to the Distributed AP number to indicate that the AP was configured using
an Auto-AP profile.
Converting an AP Configured by the Auto-AP Profile into a
You can convert a temporary AP configuration created by the Auto-AP profile into a persistent AP
configuration on the switch. To do so, use the following command:
set dap auto persistent {dap-num | all}
This command creates a persistent Distributed AP configuration based on the settings in the Auto-
AP profile. The Distributed AP name and number assigned by the Auto-AP profile are used for the
persistent entry. For example, if the Auto-AP profile assigned the number 100 and the name DAP 100
to the AP, the persistent configuration for the AP has the same number and name. In this case, use 100
as the dap-num with show dap, set dap, or clear dap commands.
The AP continues to operate without interruption after you enter the set dap auto persistent command.
The next time the AP is restarted, the Auto-AP profile is not used to configure the AP. Instead, the
persistent configuration is used. (Use the save config command to make the AP configuration persistent
across switch restarts.)
To configure a DWS-1008 switch for connection to an access point, you must do one of the following:
• For an access point directly connected to a switch port, configure the switch port as an
access port.
• For an access point indirectly connected to an switch through an intermediate Layer or
Layer network, configure a Distributed AP on the switch.
• Optionally, you also can change other parameters that affect the entire AP:
• AP name.
• Dual-home bias.
• Load-balancing group.
• Automatic firmware upgrade capability.
• LED blink mode
