Configuring The Adaptive Ap For Adoption By The Controller; Configuring The Controller For Adaptive Ap Adoption - Extreme Networks Altitude 4700 Series Product Reference Manual

Configuring the Adaptive AP for Adoption by the Controller

1 An AAP needs to find and connect to the controller. To ensure this connection:
Configure the controller's IP address on the AAP
●
Provide the controller IP address using DHCP option 189 on a DHCP server. The IP address is a
●
comma delimited string of IP addresses. For example "157.235.94.91, 10.10.10.19". There can be a
maximum of 12 IP addresses.
Configure the controller's FQDN on the AAP. The AAP can use this to resolve the IP address of
●
the controller.
2 Use the controller's secret password on the AAP for the controller to authenticate it.
For additional information on defining the connection medium used by the Access Point t to receive
an AAP configuration, see
To avoid a lengthy broken connection with the controller, Extreme Networks recommends generating
an SNMP trap when the AAP loses adoption with the controller.

Configuring the Controller for Adaptive AP Adoption

The tasks described below are configured on an Extreme Networks controller. For information on
configuring the controller for AAP support, see
To adopt an AAP on a controller:
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:
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. Optionally, configure WLANs as independent
and assign to AAPs as needed.
3 Configure each VPN tunnel with the VLANs to be extended to it.
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.
