Add and Configure an AP with the CLI
Configure AP Power Supply, Channel Width, and MIMO Mode with CLI
Set the power supply type, channel width, and MIMO mode by following these steps:
1. Open a terminal session on the controller.
2. Enter configuration mode by with the command terminal configuration at the CLI
prompt.
3. Select the AP with the command ap #, for example, AP1:
default(config)# ap 1
4. Set the power supply value to 5V-DC for AP Power, 802.3af Power Over Ethernet,
802.3-at Power Over Ethernet, or dual-802.3-af Power Over Ethernet with the
CLI command power-supply.
default(config-ap)# power-supply 5V-DC
5. Exit ap configuration mode.
default(config-ap) # exit
6. Enter radio configuration submode with the command interface Dot11Radio
node-id interface_ID. For example, for AP1, interface 1:
default(config)# interface Dot11Radio 1 1
7. Change channel width from 20 MHz (default) to 40 MHz (either
40-mhz-extension-channel-above or 0-mhz-extension-channel-below 40) with the
command channel-width. This command also sets channel bonding.
default(config-if-802)# channel-width above 40 MHz Extension channel
8. Change MIMO Mode from 2x2 (default) to 3x3 with the mimo-mode 3x3 command
and exit.
default(config-if-802)# mimo-mode 3x3
default(config-if-802)# end
The AP is now configured.
