Adaptive AP

10.1.2 Adaptive AP Management
An AAP can be adopted, configured and managed like a thin access port from the wireless switch.
Once an access point connects to a switch and receives its AAP configuration, its WLAN and radio
configuration is similar to a thin access port. An AAP's radio mesh configuration can also be
configured from the switch. However, non-wireless features (DHCP, NAT, Firewall etc.) cannot be
configured from the switch and must be defined using the access point's resident interfaces before
its conversion to an AAP.
10.1.3 Licensing
An AAP uses the same licensing scheme as a thin access port. This implies an existing license
purchased with a switch can be used for an AAP deployment. Regardless of how many AP300
and/or AAPs are deployed, you must ensure the license used by the switch supports the number of
radio ports (both AP300s and AAPs) you intend to adopt.
10.1.4 Switch Discovery
For an access point to function as an AAP (regardless of mode), it needs to connect to a switch to
receive its configuration.
•
10.1.4.1 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.
NOTE
To support AAP functionality, a RFS7000 model switch must be running
firmware version 4.0 or higher. The access point must running firmware
version 4.0 or higher to be converted into an AAP.
NOTE
An AAP cannot support a firmware download from the wireless switch.
