The output displays auto next to the Distributed AP number to indicate that the AP was configured using a template.
Converting an AP Configured by the Template into a Permanent AP
You can convert a temporary AP configuration created by the template into a persistent AP configuration on the WSS
switch. To do so, use the following command:
set dap auto persistent {dap-num | all}
This command creates a persistent Distributed AP configuration based on the settings in the template. The Distributed
AP name and number assigned by the template are used for the persistent entry. For example, if the template assigned
the number 100 and the name DAP100 to the AP, the persistent configuration for the AP has the same number and name.
In this case, use 100 as the dap-num with show dap, set dap, or clear dap commands.
The AP continues to operate without interruption after you enter the set dap auto persistent command. The next time
the AP is restarted, the template is not used to configure the AP. Instead, the persistent configuration is used. (Use the
save config command to make the AP configuration persistent across switch restarts.)
