Adaptive AP
10-15
10.4.2 Switch Configuration
Both a WS5100 (running firmware version 3.1 or later) or a RFS6000/ RFS7000 (running firmware
version 1.1 or later) require an explicit adaptive configuration to adopt an access point (if IPSec is not
being used for adoption). The same licenses currently used for AP300 adoption can be used for an
AAP.
Disable the switch’s Adopt unconfigured radios automatically option and manually add AAPs
requiring adoption, or leave as default. In default mode, any AAP adoption request is honored until
the current switch license limit is reached.
To disable automatic adoption on the switch:
1. Select Network > Access Port Radios from the switch main menu tree.
2. Select the Configuration tab (should be displayed be default) and click the Global
Settings button.
3. Ensure the Adopt unconfigured radios automatically option is NOT selected.
When disabled, there is no automatic adoption of non-configured radios on the network.
Additionally, default radio settings will NOT be applied to access ports when automatically
adopted.
Any WLAN configured on the switch becomes an extended WLAN by default for an AAP.
4. Select Network > Wireless LANs from the switch main menu tree.
NOTE For IPSec deployments, refer to Sample Switch Configuration File for
IPSec and Independent WLAN on page 10-19 and take note of the CLI
commands in red and associated comments in green.
