Concept Guide

Parameter Description Range Default
heartbeat-in <secs>
Set the interval between
heartbeat messages between
a remote or campus AP and
its associated controller. An
increase in the heartbeat
interval increases the time it
will take for an AP to detect
the loss in connectivity to the
controller, but can reduce
internet bandwidth consumed
by a remote AP.
1-60 secs 1 sec
led-mode
The operating mode for the
AP LEDs. This option is
available on all 802.11n
indoor APplatforms.
— normal
normal
Display LEDs in normal mode. — —
off
Turn off all LEDs. — —
lms-hold-down-
period
Time, in seconds, that the
primary LMS must be
available before an AP returns
to that LMS after failover.
1-3600 600
seconds
lms-ip
In multi-controller networks,
this parameter specifies the IP
address of the local
management switch (LMS)—
the Dellcontroller—which is
responsible for terminating
user traffic from the APs, and
processing and forwarding
the traffic to the wired
network. This can be the IP
address of the local or master
controller.
When using redundant
controllers as the LMS, set
this parameter to be the VRRP
IP address to ensure that APs
always have an active IP
address with which to
terminate sessions.
NOTE: If the LMS-IP is blank,
the access point will remain
on the controller that it finds
using methods like DNS or
DHCP. If an IP address is
configured for the LMS IP
parameter, the AP will be
immediately redirected to the
controller at that address.
