B-18 Motorola RF Switch System Reference Guide
Once an AAP is adopted by the switch, it displays within the switch Access Port Radios screen (under the
Network parent menu item) as an AP-5131, AP-5181 or AP-7131 within the AP Type column.
B.4.3 Adaptive AP Deployment Considerations
Before deploying your switch/AAP configuration, refer to the following usage caveats to optimize its
effectiveness:
• Extended WLANs are mapped to the AP’s LAN2 interface and all independent WLANs are mapped to the
AP’s LAN1 Interface.
• If deploying multiple independent WLANs mapped to different VLANs, ensure the AP’s LAN1 interface is
connected to a trunk port on the Layer 2/Layer 3 switch and appropriate management and native VLANs
are configured.
• The WLAN used for mesh backhaul must always be an independent WLAN.
• The switch configures an AAP. If manually changing wireless settings on the AP, they are not updated on
the switch. It's a one way configuration, from the switch to the AP.
• An AAP always requires a router between the AP and the switch.
• An AAP can be used behind a NAT.
• An AAP uses UDP port 24576 for control frames and UDP port 24577 for data frames.
• Multiple VLANs per WLAN, Layer 3 mobility, NAC, and self healing are some of the important wireless
features not supported in an AAP supported deployment.
B.4.4 Sample Switch Configuration File for IPSec and Independent WLAN

WLAN configuration. Please note new AAP specific CLI commands in red and relevant comments in blue.
