NOTE
If you are designating the Access Point as a Standalone AP, Extreme Networks
recommends that the Access Point's UI, and not the CLI, be used exclusively to define its device

managed (Dependent mode) Access Point. Selecting this option closes the Initial AP
Setup Wizard. An adopted Access Point obtains its configuration from a profile stored
on its managing controller. Any manual configuration changes are overwritten by the

Select the Automatic controller discovery option to enable the Access Point to be discovered
and adopted using layer 2 settings. If you prefer layer 3 adoption, select the Static
Controller Configuration option, and define the addresses of the preferred controllers.
