D.1.2.2 Components
The information in this section is based on the following Motorola hardware and software versions:
• 1 RFS6000 model switch
• 1 AirDefense Enterprise Server Version 7.3 (or higher)
• 5 AP300 model Access Ports
D.1.2.3 Switch Web UI Configuration
The following outlines the steps required to convert adopted AP300s into AirDefense Sensors on a RF
Switch:
Converting AP300s Into Sensors
For this example, five AP300s have been deployed at a site supported by a RF Switch and a Motorola
AirDefense Enterprise server. Three AP300s provide WLAN services to users and the remaining two AP300s
are dedicated as AirDefense sensors.
Three of the AP300s provide WLAN services, are connected to VLAN 11 and are L3 adopted to the RF Switch.
The AP300s discover and connect to the switch using DHCP scope options configured on a DHCP server
providing IP addressing services to VLAN 11.
The two remaining AP300 sensors are connected to a sensor (VLAN 12 which is 802.1Q tagged to the RF
Switch). The AP300s are L2 adopted, then converted into dedicated AirDefense sensors. Once converted, the
AP300s will maintain a management connection with the RF Switch while monitoring the RF environment
and forwarding information to the AirDefense Enterprise server.
