252 Configuring AP access points
320657-A
For WSS-2360 B:
• The Number of APs that can be configured on the switch, minus the number that are configured, is 30 - 20 = 10.
• The Number of APs that can be active on the switch, minus the number that are active, is 12 - 12 = 0.
• The lesser of the two values is 0. The switch can have no more APs.
WSS-2360 A has the capacity to add 4 more APs, whereas WSS-2360 B cannot add any more APs. Therefore, the WSS
contacted by the AP sends WSS-2360 A’s IP address to the AP. The AP then requests a software image file and config-
uration from WSS-2360 A. WSS-2360 A sends the software image and sends configuration parameters based on the
template.
Configured APs Have Precedence Over Unconfigured APs
When an WSS switch determines the WSS IP address to send to a booting AP, the switch gives preference to APs that
are already configured, over unconfigured APs that require a template. The WSS can direct a configured AP to a switch
that has active APs configured using the template, even if the switch does not have capacity for more active APs. In this
case, the WSS randomly selects an AP using the template to disconnect, and accepts a connection from the configured
AP in its place.
The disconnected AP can then begin the boot process again to find another WSS switch that has a template. When the
AP is disconnected, the AP’s clients experience a service disruption, and will attempt to associate with another AP if
available to reconnect to the SSID they were using. If another AP is not available to a client, the client can still reconnect
after the disconnected AP is connected to a new WSS and finishes the boot and configuration process.
Configuring a Template
The template for Distributed AP configuration is like an individual AP configuration, except the configuration has the
name auto instead of a Distributed AP number.
To create a template for automatic Distributed AP configuration, type the following command:
23x0# set dap auto
success: change accepted.
To display the AP settings in the template, type the following command:
23x0# show dap config auto
Dap auto: mode: disabled bias: high
fingerprint
boot-download-enable: YES
load balancing group: none
Radio 1: type: 802.11g, mode: enabled, channel: dynamic
tx pwr: 15, profile: default
auto-tune max-power: default, min-client-rate: 5.5, max-retransmissions: 10
Radio 2: type: 802.11a, mode: enabled, channel: dynamic
tx pwr: 11, profile: default
auto-tune max-power: default, min-client-rate: 24, max-retransmissions: 10
This example shows the defaults for the AP parameters you can configure in the template. Table 14 on page 253 lists the
configurable template parameters and their defaults. The only parameter that requires configuration is the template
mode. The template is disabled by default. To use the template to configure Distributed APs, you must enable the
template. (See “Enabling the Template” on page 254.)
