Configuring APs 235

Nortel WLAN—Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration Guide

Converting an AP configured by the auto-AP profile into a permanent AP

You can convert a temporary AP configuration created by the Auto-AP profile into a persistent AP configura-
tion on the WSS. To do so, use the following command:

set ap auto persistent {ap-num | all}

This command creates a persistent Distributed AP configuration based on the settings in the Auto-AP profile.
The Distributed AP name and number assigned by the Auto-AP profile are used for the persistent entry. For
example, if the Auto-AP profile assigned the number 100 and the name ap100 to the AP, the persistent config-
uration for the AP has the same number and name. In this case, use 100 as the ap-num with show ap, set ap, or
clear ap commands.

The AP continues to operate without interruption after you enter the set ap auto persistent command. The
next time the AP is restarted, the Auto-AP profile is not used to configure the AP. Instead, the persistent
configuration is used. (Use the save config command to make the AP configuration persistent across switch
restarts.)

Configuring AP port parameters

To configure a WSS for connection to an AP, you must do one of the following:

•

For an AP directly connected to a WSS port, configure the WSS port as an AP access port. (

“Setting the

port type for a directly connected AP” (page 236)

•

For an AP indirectly connected to a WSS through an intermediate Layer or Layer network, configure a
Distributed AP on the WSS. (

“Configuring an indirectly connected AP” (page 237)

Optionally, you also can change other parameters that affect the entire AP:

•

AP name. (See
