AP Local Configuration
WLAN services parameters of an AP are configured on the AC that is connected To the AP, and then delivered to the AP.
The following parameters are configured on the AP through Telnet or the console port.
1. Configuring the AP Access Mode
This section describes how to configure the mode in which an AP goes online.
2. Configuring VLANs on Wired Interfaces of an AP
This section describes how to configure VLANs on wired interfaces of an AP.
1. Configuring the AP Access Mode
This section describes how to configure the mode in which an AP goes online.
● AP Access Modes
After an AP starts, going online management module determines the mode in which the AP goes online. Users are
unaware of the AP access mode. In the AP startup phase, the AP obtains the its IP address, the gateway IP address,
and the AC IP address based on the access mode. After obtaining all the information, the AP sets up a Control And
Provisioning of Wireless Access Point (CAPWAP) link with the AC. The process is as follows:
1. The AP reads the configuration file and determines the mode to go online.
2. If the DHCP mode is used, the AP starts the DHCP process.
3. If the static mode is used, the AP starts the AC discovery process based on the static configuration, and
establishes a control tunnel with the discovered AC.
4. If the PPPoE mode is used, the AP initiates the PPPoE dial-up process. After obtaining the management IP
address and gateway address, the AP uses the statically configured AC IP address to discover the AC, and
establishes a control tunnel with the AC.
NOTE
By default, AP's go online in DHCP mode.
