** The AP-51xx uses an encryption key to hash passphrases and security keys. To obtain the
encryption passphrase, configure an AP-51xx with the passphrase and export the configuration file.
B.1.5.2 Manual Adoption Configuration
A manual switch adoption of an AAP can be conducted using:
• Static FQDN - A switch fully qualified domain name can be specified to perform a DNS
lookup and switch discovery.
• Static IP addresses - Up to 12 switch IP addresses can be manually specified in an ordered
list the AP can choose from. When providing a list, the AAP tries to adopt based on the order
in which they are listed (from 1-12)
NOTE An AAP can use it's LAN or WAN Ethernet interface to adopt. The LAN is
PoE and DHCP enabled by default.
The WAN has no PoE support and has a default static AP address of 10.1.1.1/8.
B.1.6 Securing a Configuration Channel Between Switch and AP
Once an access point obtains a list of available switches, it begins connecting to each. The switch
can be either on the LAN or WAN side of the access point to provide flexibility in the deployment of
the network. If the switch is on the access point's LAN, ensure the LAN subnet is on a secure channel.
The AP will connect to the switch and request a configuration.
