260 Configuring AP access points
320657-A
AP names appear in the output of some CLI show commands and in WLAN Management Software . To change the
name of an AP, use the following command:
set {ap port-list | dap dap-num} name name
Changing Bias
The CLI commands described in this section enable you to change the bias for an AP.
To change the bias of an AP, use the following command:
set {ap port-list | dap dap-num} bias {high | low}
The default bias is high.
To change the bias for a Distributed AP to low, type the following command:
23x0# set dap 1 bias low
success: change accepted.
Configuring a Load-Balancing Group
A load-balancing group is a named set of AP access ports. WSS Software balances user sessions among the access ports
in the group.
To assign an AP access point to a load-balancing group, use the following command:
set {ap port-list | dap dap-num} group name
To configure a load-balancing group named loadbalance1 that contains directly-connected AP access ports on ports 1, 4,
and 7, type the following command:
23x0# set ap 1,4,7 group loadbalance1
success: change accepted.
Disabling or Reenabling Automatic Firmware Upgrades
An AP access point can automatically upgrade its boot firmware by loading the upgrade version of the firmware from an
WSS switch when the AP is booting. Automatic firmware upgrades are enabled by default.
To disable or reenable automatic firmware upgrades, use the following command:
set {ap port-list | dap dap-num} upgrade-firmware {enable | disable}
Enabling LED Blink Mode
Blink mode makes an AP easy to identify. When blink mode is enabled on AP-xxx models, the health and radio LEDs
alternately blink green and amber. When blink mode is enabled on an AP2750, the 11a LED blinks on and off. By
default, blink mode is disabled. Blink mode continues until you disable it. LED blink mode is disabled by default.
Changing the LED blink mode does not alter operation of the AP access port. Only the behavior of the LEDs is affected.
To enable or disable LED blink mode, use the following command:
set {ap port-list | dap dap-num} blink {enable | disable}
