Step 1 |
Choose Configuration > Tags & Profiles > AP Join.
|
Step 2 |
Click the Add button. The Add AP Join Profile screen appears.
|
Step 3 |
Click the General tab.
|
Step 4 |
Enter a name in the Name field and a description for the AP join profile in the Description field.
|
Step 5 |
Select 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 6 |
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 7 |
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 CAPWAPjoin request to the device. The device sends a CAPWAPjoin
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. When the access point joins the device,
the device manages its configuration, firmware, control transactions, and data transactions.
|
Step 8 |
In the CAPWAP tab, you can configure the following:
-
High Availability: You can configure primary and secondary backup controllers
for all access points (which are used if primary, secondary, or tertiary controllers are not responsive) in this order: primary,
secondary, tertiary, primary backup, and secondary backup. In addition, you can configure varioustimers, including heartbeat
timers and discovery request timers. To reduce the controller
failure detection time, you can configure the fast heartbeat interval (between the controller
and the access point) with a smaller timeout value. When the fast heartbeat timer expires (at every heartbeat interval), the
access point determines if any data packets have been received from the controller
within the last interval. If no packets have been received, the access point sends a fast echo request to the controller
.
-
In the High Availability tab, enter the time (in seconds) in the Fast Heartbeat Timeout field to configure the heartbeat timer for all access points. Specifying a small heartbeat interval reduces the amount of
time it takes to detect device failure.
-
In the Heartbeat Timeout field, enter the time (in seconds) to configure the heartbeat timer for all access points. Specifying a small heartbeat interval
reduces the amount of time it takes to detect device failure.
-
In the Discovery Timeout field, enter a value between 1 and 10 seconds (inclusive) to configure the AP discovery request timer
-
In the Primary Discovery Timeout field, enter a value between 30 and 3000 seconds (inclusive) to configure the access point primary discovery request timer
-
In the Primed Join Timeout field, enter a value between 120 and 43200 seconds(inclusive) to configure the access point primed join timeout.
-
In the Retransmit Timers Count field, enter the number of times that you want the AP to retransmit the request to the device and vice-versa. Valid range
is between 3 and 8.
-
In the Retransmit Timers Interval field, enter the time duration between retransmission of requests. Valid range is between 2 and 5.
-
Check the Enable Fallback check box to enable fallback.
-
Enter the Primary Controller name and IP address.
-
Enter the Secondary Controller name and IP address.
-
Click Save & Apply to Device.
-
Advanced
-
In the Advanced tab, check the Enable VLAN Tagging check box to enable VLAN tagging.
-
Check the Enable Data Encryption check box to enable Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) data encryption.
-
Check the Enable Jumbo MTU to enable big maximum transmission unit (MTU). MTU is the largest physical packet size, measured in bytes, that a network
can transmit. Any messages larger than the MTU are divided into smaller packets before transmission. Jumbo frames are frames
that are bigger than the standard Ethernet frame size, which is 1518 bytes(including Layer 2 (L2) header andFCS). The definition
of frame size is vendor-dependent, as these are not part of the IEEE standard.
-
Use the Link Latency drop-down list to select the link latency. Link latency monitors the round-trip time of the CAPWAP heartbeat packets(echo
request and response) from the AP to the controller
and back.
-
From the Preferred Mode drop-down list, choose the mode.
-
Click Save & Apply to Device.

Step 9 |
In the AP tab, you can configure the following:
-
General
-
In the General tab, check the Switch Flag check box to enable switches.

an alternative powering option to local power, inline power-capable multiport switches, and multiport power patch panels.
-
From the Power Injector Type drop-down list, choose power injector type from the following options:
-
Installed: If you want the APto examine and remember the MAC address of the currently connected switch port. (This selection
assumes that a power injector is connected.)
-
Override: To enable the AP to operate in high-power mode without first verifying a matching MAC address.
-
In the Injector Switch MAC field, enter the MAC address of the switch.
-
Enter the relevant country code. The country code enables you to specify a particular country of operation (such as FR for
France or ES for Spain).
-
From the EAP Type drop-down list, choose the EAP type as EAP-FAST, EAP TLS, or EAP-PEAP.

meter. Selecting this option disables all other fields in the screen, except NTP Server.
-
In the Hyperlocation tab, check the Enable Hyperlocation check box.
-
Enter the Detection Threshold value to filter out packets with low RSSI. The valid range is –100 dBm to –50 dBm.

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.

operation is performed on the AP by the radio drivers on the current channel on which it is operational, based on the specified
packet capture filter.
