z APs configured for mesh. You must provision the AP before you install it as a mesh node in a mesh
deployment.
Provisioned or reprovisioned values do not take effect until the AP is rebooted. APs reboot automatically after
they are successfully reprovisioned.
Provisioning a Single AP
To provision a single AP:
1. Use the read-bootinfo option to read the current information from the deployed AP you wish to reprovision.
2. Use the show provisioning-ap-list command to see the AP to be provisioned.
3. Use the copy-provisioning-params option to copy the AP’s parameter values to the provisioning-params
workspace.
4. Use the provision-ap options to set new values. Use the show provisioning-params command to display
parameters and values in the provisioning-params workspace. Use the clear provisioning-params command to
reset the workspace to default values.
5. Use the reprovision option to provision the AP with the values in provisioning-params workspace. The AP
automatically reboots.
Provisioning Multiple APs at a Time
You can change parameter values for multiple APs at a time, however, note the following:
z You cannot provision the following AP-specific options on multiple APs:
 ap-name
 ipaddr
 pap-user
 pap-passwd
 ikepsk
If any of these options are already provisioned on the AP, their values are retained when the AP is
reprovisioned.
z The values of the server-name, a-ant-gain, or g-ant-gain options are retained if they are not reprovisioned.
z All other values in the provisioning-params workspace are copied to the APs.
To provision multiple APs at the same time:
1. Use the read-bootinfo to read the current information from each deployed AP that you wish to provision.
2. Use the copy-provisioning-params option to copy an AP’s parameter values to the provisioning-params
workspace.
3. Use the provision-ap options to set new values. Use the show provisioning-params command to display
parameters and values in the provisioning-params workspace. Use the clear provisioning-params command to
reset the workspace to default values.
Note: Users less familiar with this process may prefer to use the Provisioning page in the WebUI to provision an AP.
Note: The AP parameter values are written to the provisioning-ap-list. To reprovision multiple APs, the APs must be present in the
provisioning-ap-list. Use the show provisioning-ap-list command to see the APs that will be provisioned. Use the clear
provisioning-ap-list command to clear the provisioning-ap-list.
