Licensing
An AAP uses the same licensing scheme as a thin access port. This implies an existing license purchased
with a controller can be used for an AAP deployment. Regardless of how many AAPs are deployed,
you must ensure the license used by the controller supports the number of radio ports you intend to
adopt.
Controller Discovery
For an Altitude 35xx to function as an AAP (regardless of mode), it needs to connect to a controller to
receive its configuration. There are two methods of controller discovery:
● Auto Discovery using DHCP on page 549
● Manual Adoption Configuration on page 550
Auto Discovery using DHCP
Extended Global Options 189, 190, 191, 192 can be used or Embedded Option 43—Vendor Specific
options can be embedded in Option 43 using the vendor class identifier 1916.
** The Altitude 35xx uses an encryption key to hash passphrases and security keys. To obtain the
encryption passphrase, configure an Altitude 35xx with the passphrase and export the configuration
file.
