Adaptive AP
WAN Survivability—Local WLAN services at a remote sites are unaffected in the case of a WAN
●
outage.
Securely extend corporate WLAN's to stores for corporate visitors—Small home or office deployments can
●
utilize the feature set of a corporate WLAN from their remote location.
Maintain local WLAN's for in store applications—WLANs created and supported locally can be
●
concurrently supported with your existing infrastructure.

For an understanding of how AAP support should be configured for the Access Point and its connected
controller, see
"How the AP Receives its Adaptive Configuration" on page
For an overview of how to configure both the Access Point and controller for basic AAP connectivity
and operation, see
"Establishing Basic Adaptive AP Connectivity" on page
To configure the Access Point's controller discovery method and connection medium, see
Setup" on page

Adaptive AP Management
An AAP can be adopted, configured and managed like a thin Access Port from the wireless controller.
Once an Access Point connects to a controller and receives its AAP configuration, its WLAN and radio
configuration is similar to a thin Access Port. An AAP's radio mesh configuration can also be
configured from the controller. However, non-wireless features (DHCP, NAT, Firewall etc.) cannot be
configured from the controller and must be defined using the Access Point's resident interfaces before
its conversion to an AAP.
Licensing
An AAP uses the same licensing scheme as a thin Access Port. This implies an existing license
purchased with a controller can be used for an AAP deployment. Regardless of how many AAPs are
deployed, you must ensure the license used by the controller supports the number of Access Points you
intend to adopt.
