Table 29 Command Summary: AP Management
COMMAND DESCRIPTION
capwap manual-add {enable | disable} Allows the NXC to either automatically add new APs to
the network (disable) or wait until you manually confirm
them (enable).
show capwap manual-add Displays the current manual add option.
capwap ap add ap_mac [ap_model] Adds the specified AP to the NXC for management. If
manual add is disabled, this command can still be used; if
you add an AP before it connects to the network, then this
command simply preconfigures the management list with
that AP’s information.
capwap ap kick {all | ap_mac} Removes the specified AP (ap_mac) or all connected
APs (all) from the management list. Doing this removes
the AP(s) from the management list.
If the NXC is set to automatically add new APs to the AP
management list, then any kicked APs are added back to
the management list as soon as they reconnect.
capwap ap reboot ap_mac Forces the specified AP (ap_mac) to restart. Doing this
severs the connections of all associated stations.
capwap ap ap_mac Enters the sub-command mode for the specified AP.
slot_name ap-profile profile_name Sets the radio (slot_name) to AP mode and assigns a
created profile to the radio.
no slot_name ap-profile Removes the AP mode profile assignment for the
specified radio (slot_name).
