Field Description
Managed AP Administrative Mode Click Enabled to allow the AP and switch to discover each other. If the AP successfully
authenticates itself with a wireless switch, you will not be able to access the
Administrator UI.
Click Disabled to prevent the AP from contacting wireless switches.
Switch IP address Enter the IP address of up to four wireless switches that can manage the AP. You can
enter the IP address in dotted format or as an DNS name.
You can view a list of wireless switches on your network that were configured by using
a DHCP server.
The AP attempts to contact Switch IP Address 1 first.
Pass Phrase Select the Edit option and enter a passphrase to allow the AP to authenticate itself
with the wireless switch. The passphrase must be between 8 and 63 characters.
To remove the password, select Edit, delete the existing password, and then click
Apply.
You must configure the same passphrase on the switch.
Note: After you configure the settings on the Managed Access Point page, you must click Apply to apply the
changes and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system
processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP
settings when WLAN traffic is low.
