Adaptive AP
10-11
• Configure the switch’s IP address on the AAP
• Provide the switch 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 switch’s FQDN on the AAP. The AAP can use this to resolve the IP address
of the switch.
2. Use the switch’s secret password on the AAP for the switch to authenticate it.
For additional information on defining the connection medium used by the access point t to
receive an AAP configuration, see Adaptive AP Setup on page 4-8.
To avoid a lengthy broken connection with the switch, Motorola recommends generating an
SNMP trap when the AAP loses adoption with the switch.
Configuring the Switch for Adaptive AP Adoption
The tasks described below are configured on a Motorola WS5100, RFS6000 or RFS7000 model
switch. For information on configuring the switch for AAP support, see
http://support.symbol.com/support/product/manuals.do
.
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.

activities described above, see Adaptive AP Configuration on page 10-12.
