OTE—For deployments where there is expected to be considerable delay between

the switch and the Access Points, for example in a remote location where an AP

is not in range of another Alcatel AP, Alcatel recommends that you enable the

“local probe response” feature. (Generating probe responses on the Alcatel

Mobility Controller is an optimization that allows AOS-W to take better deci-

sions.)

To do this, access the CLI of the switch (using the console connection or by per-

forming a Telnet/SSH into the switch) and using the following commands:

(Alcatel4324) (config) #ap location 0.0.0

(Alcatel4324) (sap-config location 0.0.0) #local-probe-response enable

(Alcatel4324) (sap-config location 0.0.0) #

You can also increase the value for bootstrap-threshold and

radio-off-threshold to minimize the chance of AP re-booting due to tempo-

rary lost of connectivity with the Alcatel Mobility Controller.
