Connecting the Cisco 1520 Series Mesh Access Point to Your Network
Note The controller_ip_address parameter in this command and the next two commands is optional.
If the backup controller is outside the mobility group to which the mesh access point is
connected (the primary controller), then you need to provide the IP address of the primary,
secondary, or tertiary controller, respectively. In each command, the controller_name and
controller_ip_address must belong to the same primary, secondary, or tertiary controller.
Otherwise, the mesh access point cannot join the backup controller.
Step 2 To configure a secondary controller for a specific mesh access point, enter this command:
config ap secondary-base controller_name Cisco_AP [controller_ip_address]
Step 3 To configure a tertiary controller for a specific mesh access point, enter this command:
config ap tertiary-base controller_name Cisco_AP [controller_ip_address]
Step 4 To configure a primary backup controller for all mesh access points, enter this command:
config advanced backup-controller primary backup_controller_name backup_controller_ip_address
Step 5 To configure a secondary backup controller for all mesh access points, enter this command:
config advanced backup-controller secondary backup_controller_name
backup_controller_ip_address
Note To delete a primary or secondary backup controller entry, enter 0.0.0.0 for the controller IP
address.
Step 6 To configure the mesh access point primary discovery request timer, enter this command:
config advanced timers ap-primary-discovery-timeout interval
where interval is a value between 30 and 3600 seconds. The default value is 120 seconds.
Step 7 To configure the mesh access point discovery timer, enter this command:
config advanced timers ap-discovery-timeout interval
where interval is a value between 1 and 10 seconds (inclusive). The default value is 10 seconds.
Step 8 To configure the 802.11 authentication response timer, enter this command:
config advanced timers auth-timeout interval
where interval is a value between 10 and 600 seconds (inclusive). The default value is 10 seconds.
Step 9 To save your changes, enter this command:
save config
Step 10 To view a mesh access point’s configuration, enter these commands:
• show ap config general Cisco_AP
• show advanced backup-controller
• show advanced timers
• show mesh config
