Provision the AP

You need to configure the VPN client settings on the AP to instruct the AP to use IPSec to connect to the controller. You can provision the remote AP and give it to users and allow remote users to provision AP at their home. This method of provisioning is referred as Zero-touch provisioning. See "Provisioning 4G USB Modems on Remote Access Points" on page 543 for more information about zero-touch provisioning of remote AP.

You must provision the AP before you install it at its remote location. To provision the AP, the AP must be physically connected to the local network or directly connected to the controller. When connected and powered on, the AP must also be able to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server on the local network or from the controller.

If your configuration has an internal LMS IP address, remote APs may attempt to switch over to the LMS IP address, which is not reachable from the Internet. For remote APs, ensure that the LMS IP address in the AP system profile for the AP group has an externally routable IP address.

Reprovisioning the AP causes it to automatically reboot. The easiest way to provision an AP is to use the Provisioning page in the WebUI, as described in the following steps:

1.Navigate to the Configuration > Wireless > AP Installation > Provisioning page. Select the remote AP and click Provision.

2.Under Authentication Method, select IPSec Parameters. Enter the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) Pre-Shared Key (PSK), username, and password.

NOTE: The username and password you enter must match the username and password configured on the authentication server for

the remote AP

3. Under Master Discovery, set the Master IP Address as shown below:
