Displaying Status Information for MAPs Configured by the

Auto-AP Profile

To display status information for MAPs configured by the Auto-AP profile, type the following command:

WX# display ap status auto

AP: 7, AP model: AP3750, manufacturer 3Com, name: MAP07

The output displays auto next to the Distributed MAP number to indicate that the MAP was configured using an Auto-AP profile.

Converting a MAP Configured by the Auto-AP Profile into a Permanent MAP You can convert a temporary MAP configuration created by the Auto-AP profile into a persistent MAP configuration on the WX switch. To do so, use the following command:

set ap auto persistent {apnumber all}

This command creates a persistent Distributed MAP configuration based on the settings in the Auto-AP profile. The Distributed MAP 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 DAP100 to the MAP, the persistent configuration for the MAP has the same number and name. In this case, use 100 as the apnumber with display ap, set ap, or clear ap commands.
