10.4 Establishing Basic Adaptive AP Connectivity

This section defines the activities required to configure basic AAP connectivity with a WS5100,

RFS6000 or RFS7000 model switch. In establishing a basic AAP connection, both the access point and

switch require modifications to their respective default configurations. For more information, see:

Switch Configuration

NOTE Refer to

10.4.1 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.

(primary/standby), the access point will un-adopt from its switch after

a few moments. To remedy this problem, ensure LAN1 has 802.1q

trunking enabled and the correct management VLAN defined.
