Parameter

Description

 

upgrading the network. The controller still generates debug syslog messages if

 

debug logging is enabled.

 

 

Number of IPSEC retries

Number of times the AP will try to create an IPsec tunnel with the master controller

 

before the AP will reboot. If you specify a value of 0, and AP will not reboot if it

 

cannot create the IPsec tunnel. The supported range of values is 0-1000 retries, and

 

the default value is 360 retries.

 

 

Maximum Request Retries

Maximum number of times to retry AP-generated requests, including keepalive

 

messages. After the maximum number of retries, the AP either tries the IP address

 

specified by the bkup-lms-ip (if configured) or reboots.

 

 

Request Retry Interval

Interval, in seconds, between the first and second retries of AP-generated requests. If

 

the configured interval is less than 30 seconds, the interval for subsequent retries is

 

increased up to 30 seconds.

 

 

Root AP

Defines a remote AP as the root AP in a branch office network with a multi-AP

 

hierarchy.

 

 

AeroScout RTLS Server

Enables the AP to send AeroScout tag information to an RTLS server. You must

 

specify the IP address and port number of the server to which location reports are

 

sent.

 

 

RTLS Server configuration

Enables the AP to send RFID tag information to an RTLS server. You must specify the

 

IP address and port number of the server to which location reports are sent, a shared

 

secret key, and the frequency at which packets are sent to the server.

Telnet

Select this checkbox to enable telnet to the AP.

To configure the bootstrap threshold using the command-line interface, access the CLI in config mode and issue the following command:

ap system-profile <profile> bootstrap-threshold 30

Prioritizing AP heartbeats

If the AP heartbeat or keep alive packets sent between the APs and controller are not received during the defined interval, the APs may reboot, causing clients to re-associate. If a high-latency or low-speed link prevents AP heartbeats from being sent and received correctly, you can assign a DHCP value to AP heartbeats to prioritize the heartbeats.

To prioritize AP heartbeats using the WebUI:

1.Navigate to the Configuration > Wireless > AP Configuration page.

2.Select either the AP Group or AP Specific tab. Click Edit for the AP group or AP name.

3.Under Profiles, select AP, then AP system profile. The configuration settings are displayed in Profile Details.

4.Under Profile Details:

a.In the Heartbeat DSCP field, enter a value greater than zero.

b.Click Apply.

To prioritize AP heartbeats using the command-line interface, access the CLI in config mode and issue the following command:

ap system-profile <profile> heartbeat-dscp <number>
