Before You Begin

1. Create a template for the startup configuration. (See Creating a Startup

Configuration Template, page 3-153 .)

2. Configure the DHCP server to:

a. Return the WLSE’s address. This is done by entering the <IP address

of the WLSE> in the Boot Server Host Name field (option number 066)

on the DHCP server.

b. Return the name of the initial template file in the DHCP reply message.

This is done by entering <startup file name> in the BootfileName

field (option number 067) on the DHCP server.

For example, if you had a WLSE with the IP address 10.10.11.12) a nd an

associated startup template with Bootfile Name “newap1200.ini”, you would

do the following:

a. On the DHCP server, select Scope > Scope Options.

b. Set Scope option 066 (TFTP boot server name or IP address) with

10.10.11.12 (the WLSE’s IP address).

c. Set Scope option 067 (Bootfile Name) with new-ap1200.ini (the new

Bootfile Name associated with the startup template file.)

Tip After the access point is powered on and the startup configuration is applied, yo u

may want to prevent the startup configuration from being uploaded to devices

again if for some reason the access points reboot. To prevent the initial

configuration from being uploaded to devices after a reboot, se t t he

bootconfigReadINI variable on the access point to never by auto-managed

configuration or regular configuration.
