Simplified AP Provisioning
This is a streamlined example of the AP Programming Mode. This procedure
represents the most typical customization: setting the master Wireless LAN
switch IP address on the AP. In this example, DNS is not required.
N
OTE—If you would like more control over AP configuration settings, or for
more details on any of the commands in the procedure, see “AP Program-
ming Mode” on page 430.
To perform simplified AP provisioning through the CLI, use the following pro-
cedure:
Enter the AP programming sub-mode on the switch:
Enable AP programming mode on an available switch port or
port range:
Connect the target APs to the specified AP programming ports
on the switch and power up the APs.
Verify that all target APs are detected by the switch.
Detected APs will be shown on the provisioning list. It may take a couple min-
utes for all APs to be detected. Repeat the command until all expected APs
appear on the list.
Configure the IP address of the host (master Wireless LAN
switch) for the AP.
Verify the AP configuration settings.
This command displays the settings that are ready to be uploaded to the APs.
Make any changes necessary before proceeding.
