When radio settings are assigned manually by the administrator, the ARRM is disabled.

The following table describes various configuration modes for an AP.

Table 11: AP radio modes

Mode

Description

ACCESS

In Access mode, an AP serves clients, while also monitoring for rogue APs in the back-

 

ground.

 

 

MONITOR

In Monitor mode, an AP acts as a dedicated monitor, scanning all channels for rogue

 

APs and clients.

 

 

SPECTRUM MONITOR

In Spectrum Monitor mode, an AP functions as a dedicated full-spectrum RF monitor,

 

scanning all channels. It detects interference from neighboring APs or from such as

 

microwaves and cordless phones.

 

 

In the Monitor and Spectrum Monitor modes, the APs do not provide access services to clients.

4.If the ACCESS mode is selected, perform the following actions:

a.Select Administrator assigned in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz BAND.

b.From CHANNEL, select the appropriate channel number for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz BAND.

c.Enter appropriate transmit power value in TRANSMIT POWER in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz BAND.

5.Click Save Settings.

Configuring uplink VLAN for an AP

Cloud Network Manager supports a management VLAN for the uplink traffic on an AP. You can configure an uplink VLAN when an AP needs to be managed from a non-native VLAN. After an AP is provisioned with the uplink management VLAN, all management traffic sent from the AP is tagged with the management VLAN.

Ensure that the native VLAN of the AP and uplink are not the same.

To configure the uplink management VLAN on an AP:

1.Select Wireless Configuration > Access Points and click the AP to modify.

2.Click Edit. The Edit pane for modifying AP details is displayed.

3.Click UPLINK and specify the VLAN in UPLINK MANAGEMENT VLAN.

4.Click Save Settings.

5.Reboot the AP.

Obtaining IP address

You can either specify a static IP address or allow the AP to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. By default, the APs obtain IP address from a DHCP server.

To specify a static IP address for the AP.
