Parameter Description
RF Band for Backup Band on which the switch broadcasts the backup ESSID.
Operation for Backup This parameter allows AP console access using a backup ESSID, allowing
users to access an AP console after the AP has disconnected from the
switch. When the AP advertises a backup ESSID in either static or dynamic
mode, a user is able to access and debug the APremotely through a
virtual AP.
Select dynamic or static to enable this feature and select the mode by
which the switch broadcasts the backup ESSID. This feature is disabled by
default.
BLE Endpoint URL URL of the Meridian server to which the BLE sends monitoring data.
BLEAuth Token The Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) endpoint authorization token is a text
string of 1-255 characters used by the BLE to authorize to and securely
communicate with the Beacon Management Console. This token is unique
for each deployment.
BLE Operation Mode 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.
Health Check The AP Health check feature configured via the health-check parameters
uses ping probes to check reachablility and latency levels for the
connection between the AP and the switch. Recorded latency information
appears in the output of the show ap ip health-check command. If the
switch IPaddress becomes unreachable from the AP uplink, this feature
records the time that the connection failed, and saves that information in
a log file (tmp/ap_hcm_log) on the AP.
Health Check Parameter The following parameters configure the health check feature.
n mode: Ping probe mode is the only mode currently supported by this
feature.
n Packetsize: Number of probes to be sent during the probe frequency
interval defined by the frequency health-check parameter.
n burstcnt: Number of probes to be sent during the probe frequency
interval defined by the Freq health-check parameter.
n Freq: Probe interval, in seconds. The WAN health-check feature sends
the number of probes defined by the burst-size parameter during each
frequency interval defined by this frequency parameter.
n report: Number of seconds between health check reports sent from
the AP to the . usage reports.
n packetsize: The size, in bytes, of a ping datagram.
