Confirming an AP’s Fingerprint on an WSS Switch
To confirm an AP’s fingerprint, find the fingerprint and use the set dap fingerprint command to enter the
fingerprint in WSS Software.
Finding the Fingerprint
An AP’s fingerprint is listed on a label on the back of the AP. (See “Encryption Key Fingerprint” on
page 261.)
If the AP is already installed and operating, use the show dap status command to display the fingerprint. The
following example shows information for Distributed AP 8, including its fingerprint:
23x0# show dap status 8
Dap: 8, IP-addr: 10.2.26.40 (vlan 'default'), AP model: 2330,
manufacturer: Nortel, name: DAP08
