Configuring The Switch For Adaptive Ap Adoption; Establishing Basic Adaptive Ap Connectivity; Adaptive Ap Configuration - Motorola RFS Series System Reference Manual

To avoid a lengthy broken connection with the switch, Motorola recommends generating an SNMP trap when
the AAP loses adoption with the switch.
NOTE For additional information (in greater detail) on the AP configuration
activities described above, see
B.3.3 Configuring the Switch for Adaptive AP Adoption
The tasks described below are configured on a Motorola RF switch. For information on configuring the switch
for AAP support, see http://www.motorola.com/Business/US-EN/Support. To adopt an AAP on a switch:
1. Ensure enough licenses are available on the switch 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 as done today for an AP300 model Access Port.
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.
NOTE For additional information (in greater detail) on the switch configuration
activities described above, see
B.4 Establishing Basic Adaptive AP Connectivity
This section defines the activities required to configure basic AAP connectivity with the switch. In
establishing a basic AAP connection, both the Access Point and switch require modifications to their
respective default configurations. For more information, see:

NOTE Refer to
deployment caveats that should be considered before defining the AAP
configuration. Refer to
Independent WLAN
IPSec VPN and an extended WLAN.
B.4.1 Adaptive AP Configuration
An AAP can be manually adopted by the switch, adopted using a configuration file (consisting of the adaptive
parameters) pushed to the Access Point or adopted using DHCP options. Each of these adoption techniques
is described in the sections that follow.
