Step 1 |
Choose .
|
Step 2 |
On the AP Join Profile page, click Add.
The Add AP Join Profile page is displayed.
|
Step 3 |
In the General tab, enter a name and description for the AP join profile. The name can be ASCII characters from 32 to 126, without leading
and trailing spaces.
|
Step 4 |
Check the LED State check box to set the LED state of all APs connected to the device to blink so that the APs are easily located.
|
Step 5 |
In the Client tab and Statistics Timer section, enter the time in seconds that the AP sends its 802.11 statistics to the controller.
|
Step 6 |
In the TCP MSS Configuration section, check the Adjust MSS Enable check box to enter value for Adjust MSS. You can enter or update the maximum segment size (MSS) for transient packets that
traverse a router. TCP MSS adjustment enables the configuration of the maximum segment size (MSS) for transient packets that
traverse a router, specifically TCP segments with the SYN bit set.
In a CAPWAP environment, a lightweight access point discovers a device by using CAPWAP discovery mechanisms, and then sends
a CAPWAP join request to the device. The device sends a CAPWAP join response to the access point that allows the access point
to join the device.
When the access point joins the device, the device manages its configuration, firmware, control transactions, and data transactions.

Step 7 |
In the AP tab, you can configure the following:
-
In the General tab, check the Switch Flag check box to enable switches.
-
Check the Power Injector State check box if power injector is being used. Power Injector increases wireless LAN deployment flexibility of APs by providing
an alternative powering option to local power, inline power-capable multiport switches, and multiport power patch panels.
Power Injector Selection parameter enables you to protect your switch port from an accidental overload if the power injector
is inadvertently bypassed.
-
From the Power Injector Type drop-down list, choose power injector type from the following options:
-
Installed—This option examines and remembers the MAC address of the currently connected switch port and assumes that a power
injector is connected. Choose this option if your network contains older Cisco 6-Watt switches and you want to avoid possible
overloads by forcing a double-check of any relocated access points.
If you want to configure the switch MAC address, enter the MAC address in the Injector Switch MAC Address text box. If you
want the access point to find the switch MAC address, leave the Injector Switch MAC Address text box blank.
Note
|
Each time an access point is relocated, the MAC address of the new switch port fails to match the remembered MAC address,
and the access point remains in low-power mode. You must then physically verify the existence of a power injector and reselect
this option to cause the new MAC address to be remembered.
|
-
Override—This option allows the access point to operate in high-power mode without first verifying a matching MAC address.
You can use this option if your network does not contain any older Cisco 6-W switches that could be overloaded if connected
directly to a 12-W access point. The advantage of this option is that if you relocate the access point, it continues to operate
in high-power mode without any further configuration. The disadvantage of this option is that if the access point is connected
directly to a 6-W switch, an overload occurs.
-
In the Injector Switch MAC field, enter the MAC address of the switch.
-
From the EAP Type drop-down list, choose the EAP type as EAP-FAST, EAP-TLS, or EAP-PEAP.

-
Enter the Reset Threshold value to reset value in scan cycles after trigger. The valid range is 0 to 99.
-
Enter the NTP Server IP address.
-
Click Save & Apply to Device.
-
BLE: If your APs are Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) enabled, they can transmit beacon messages that are packets of data or attributes
transmitted over a low energy link. These BLE beacons are frequently used for health monitoring, proximity detection, asset
tracking, and in-store navigation. For each AP, you can customize BLE Beacon settings configured globally for all APs.
-
In the BLE tab, enter a value in the Beacon Interval field to indicate how often you want your APs to send out beacon advertisements to nearby devices. The range is from 1 to
10, with a default of 1.
-
In the Advertised Attenuation Level field, enter the attenuation level. The range is from 40 to 100, with a default of 59.
-
Click Save & Apply to Device.
-
In the Packet Capture tab, choose an AP Packet Capture Profile from the drop-down list.
-
You can also create a new profile by clicking the + sign.
-
Enter a name and description for the AP packet capture profile.
-
Enter the Buffer Size.
-
Enter the Duration.
-
Enter the Truncate Length information.
-
In the Server IP field, enter the IP address of the TFTP server.
-
In the File Path field, enter the directory path.
-
Enter the username and password details.
-
From the Password Type drop-down list, choose the type.
-
In the Packet Classifiers section, use the option to select or enter the packets to be captured.
-
Click Save.

Step 9 |
In the Rogue AP tab, check the Rogue Detection check box to enable rogue detection.
|
Step 10 |
In the Rogue Detection Minimum RSSI field, enter the RSSI value.
This field specifies the minimum RSSI value for which a Rogue AP should be
reported. All Rogue APs with RSSI lower than what is configured will not be
reported to controller.
|
Step 11 |
In the Rogue Detection Transient Interval field, enter the transient interval value.
This field indicates how long the Rogue AP should be seen before reporting
the controller.
|
Step 12 |
In the Rogue Detection Report Interval field, enter the report interval value.

to controller.
|
Step 13 |
Check the Rogue Containment Automatic Rate Selection check box to enable rogue containment automatic rate selection.

RSSI.
|
Step 14 |

Here, the AP will continue containment in case it moves to flexconnect
standalone mode.
