Appendix F Text File Based Auto Configuration
NWA-3500/NWA-3550 User’s Guide
380
You can have a different configuration file for each AP. You can also have multiple
APs use the same configuration file.
Note: If adjacent APs use the same configuration file, you should leave out the
channel setting since they could interfere with each other’s wireless traffic.
Auto Configuration by DHCP
A DHCP response can use options 66 and 67 to assign a TFTP server IP address
and a filename. If the AP is configured as a DHCP client, these settings can be
used to perform auto configuration.
If this feature is enabled and the DHCP response provides a TFTP server IP
address and a filename, the AP will try to download the file from the specified
TFTP server. The AP then uses the file to configure wireless LAN settings.
Note: Not all DHCP servers allow you to specify options 66 and 67.
Manual Configuration
Use the following command to manually configure a TFTP server IP address and a
file name for the AP to use for auto provisioning whenever the AP starts up. See
Section 25.1 on page 257 for how to access the Command Interpreter (CI).
Configuration Via SNMP
You can configure and trigger the auto configuration remotely via SNMP.
