2. Export the AAP’s configuration to a secure location.
Either import the configuration manually to other APs or the same AP later (if you elect to default its
configuration). Use DHCP option 186 and 187 to force a download of the configuration file during startup
(when it receives a DHCP offer).
B.4.1.3 Adopting an Adaptive AP Using DHCP Options
An AAP can be adopted to a wireless switch by providing the following options in the DHCP Offer:
B.4.2 Switch Configuration
A Motorola RF Switch (running firmware version 3.1 or later) requires an explicit adaptive configuration to
adopt an Access Point (if IPSec is not being used for adoption). The same licenses currently used for AP300
adoption can be used for an AAP.
Disable the switch’s Adopt unconfigured radios automatically option and manually add AAPs requiring
adoption, or leave as default. In default mode, any AAP adoption request is honored until the current switch
license limit is reached.
To disable automatic adoption on the switch:
1. Select Network > Access Port Radios from the switch main menu tree.
2. Select the Configuration tab (should be displayed be default) and click the Global Settings button.
NOTE When an Adaptive AP is adopted over an IP Sec Tunnel you cannot export
the configuration file to a system on the other side of the IP Sec Tunnel.
You may still export the configuration file to a system local to the AAP.
Option Data Type Value
189 String <Switch IP Address or Range of IP addresses separated by [, ; <space>]>
190 String <Fully qualified Domain Name for the Wireless Switch>
191 String <Hashed IPSec Passkey - configure on 1 AP and export to get hashed
key>
192 String <Value of "1" denotes Non-IPSec Mode and "2" denotes IPSec Mode>
NOTE Options 189 and 192 are mandatory to trigger adoption using DHCP
options. Unlike an AP300, option 189 alone won’t work. These options can
be embedded in Vendor Specific Option 43 and sent in the DHCP Offer.
