set ap boot-configuration switch
Specifies the WSS a AP contacts and attempts to use as its boot device.
Syntax set ap ap-num boot-configuration switch [switch-ip ip-addr] [name name dns ip-addr]
[mode {enable | disable}]
Defaults By default APs use the process described in “Default AP Boot Process”, in the Nortel WLAN
Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration Guide to boot from a WSS, instead of using a manually specified
WSS.
Access Enabled.
History Introduced in WSS Software 4.1.
Option dap removed.
Usage When you specify a boot switch for a AP to boot from, it boots using the process described in “AP
Boot Process Using Static IP Configuration”, in the Nortel WLAN Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration
Guide.
When a static IP address is specified for a AP, there is no preconfigured DNS information or DNS name for
the WSS the AP attempts to use as its boot device. If you configure a static IP address for a AP, but do not
specify a boot device, then the WSS must be reachable via subnet broadcast.
Examples The following command configures AP 1 to use the WSS with address 172.16.0.21 as its boot
device.
WSS# set ap 1 boot-configuration switch switch-ip 172.16.0.21 mode enable
success: change accepted.
The following command configures AP 1 to use the WSS with the name 2350 as its boot device. The DNS server at
172.16.0.1 is used to resolve the name of the WSS.
WSS# set ap 1 boot-configuration switch name 2350 dns 172.16.0.1 mode enable
success: change accepted.
ap ap-num Number of the AP for which you are specifying static IP
information.
switch-ip ip-addr The IP address of the WSS the AP should boot from.
name name The fully qualified domain name of the WSS the AP should
boot from. When both a name and a switch-ip are specified,
the AP uses the name.
dns ip-addr The IP address of the DNS server used to resolve the specified
name of the WSS.
mode {enable | disable} Enables or disables the AP using the specified boot device.
