Mode Description
Beaconing The AP's built-in BLE chip functions as an iBeacon combined with beacon management
functionality.
Disabled The AP's built-in BLE chip is turned off. This is the default setting.
DynamicConsole The AP's built-in chip functions as a regular iBeacon combined with beacon
management functionality. However, when the link to the switch is lost, the built-in chip
temporarily enables access to the AP console over BLE. This state of the BLE device
may be rolled back to any of the other modes if the AP receives a different configuration
setting for the BLE Operation Mode setting from the new LMS.
PersistentConsole The AP's built-in chip provides access to the AP console over BLE using a mobile
application. This functionality is the superset of the Beaconing mode.
Table 127: BLE Operation Modes
BLE is disabled on the AOS-W FIPS build.
The BLE Operation Mode setting is currently supported in OAW-AP320 Series access points only.
In the CLI
You can configure the BLE operation mode in the switch CLI as well. A new ble-op-mode parameter is
introduced in the ap system-profile command.
ap system-profile
The following new parameter is introduced in the ap system-profile command:
Parameter Description
ble-op-mode
Beaconing
Disabled
DynamicConsole
PersistentConsole
Determines how the built-in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) chip in the AP functions. BLE
chip can be in one of the following four modes:
n Beaconing: The AP's built-in BLE chip functions as an iBeacon combined with beacon
management functionality.
n Disabled: The AP's built-in BLE chip is turned off. This is the default setting.
n DynamicConsole: The AP's built-in chip functions as a regular iBeacon combined
with beacon management functionality. However, when the link to the switch is lost,
the built-in chip temporarily enables access to the AP console over BLE. This state of
the BLE device may be rolled back to any of the other modes if the AP receives a
different configuration setting for the ble-op-mode parameter from the new LMS.
n PersistentConsole: The AP's built-in chip provides access to the AP console over
BLE using a mobile application. This functionality is the superset of the Beaconing
mode.
NOTE: BLE is disabled on AOS-W FIPS build.
You can verify the configured value by executing the show ap system-profile command.
