4 Basic AP3510 Configuration
Configuring Initial Settings
An AP3510 needs settings defined to discover an available controller and register with
it. It is through this controller registration that the AP3510 receives its configuration. If
the AP’s link to the controller fails, the AP continues to operate using the last valid
configuration until its link is reestablished and a new configuration is pushed down
from the controller.
Only WLAN, VLAN extension and radio configuration items are defined for the AP by
its connected controller. None of the other AP3510 configuration items (RADIUS, DHCP,
NAT, Firewall, and so forth) are configurable from the connected controller. See the
Altitude 35x0 Access Point Product Reference Guide for further configuration of these
parameters.
Ensure that the AP image and the controller image are compatible. Refer to release
notes for the AP firmware compatibility matrix. Refer to product documentation for
how to upgrade the AP firmware.
Establishing Basic AP Connectivity
This section defines the steps required to establish basic AP connectivity with an
Extreme Networks Summit WM3x00 model controller.
Prerequisites for connecting an AP3510 to a controller include:
● Ensure that your controller has an appropriate AP capacity license.
● Ensure that the controller is up and running on the network and is reachable from
the network on which the AP is installed.
● Refer to the controller installation guide and Summit WM3000 Series Controller System
Reference Guide for details.
