Configuring the Virtual AP Profile for Fallback Mode in the CLI

wlan ssid-profile <profile> essid <name>

opmode <method>

wpa-passphrase <string> (if necessary)

wlan virtual-ap <name> ssid-profile <profile> vlan <vlan> forward-mode bridge aaa-profile <name>

rap-operation {alwaysbackuppersistent}

ap-group <name> virtual-ap <name>

or

ap-name <name> virtual-ap <name>

Configuring the DHCP Server on the Remote AP

You can configure the internal DHCP server on the remote AP to provide an IP address for the “backup” SSID if the controller is unreachable. If configured, the remote AP DHCP server intercepts all DHCP requests and assigns an IP address from the configured DHCP pool.

To configure the remote AP DHCP server:

•Enter the VLAN ID for the remote AP DHCP VLAN in the AP system profile. This VLAN enables the DHCP server on the AP (also known as the remote AP DHCP server VLAN). If you enter the native VLAN ID, the DHCP server is not configured and is unavailable.

•Specify the DHCP IP address pool and netmask. By default, the AP assigns IP addresses from the DHCP pool 192.168.11.0/24, with an IP address range from 192.168.11.2 through 192.168.11.254. You can manually define the DHCP IP address pool and netmask based on your network design and IP address scheme.

•Specify the IP address of the DHCP server, DHCP router, and the DHCP DNS server. By default, the AP uses IP address 192.168.11.1 for the DHCP server, the DHCP router and the DHCP DNS server.

•Enter the amount of days the assigned IP address is valid (also known as the remote AP DHCP lease). By default, the lease does not expire, which means the IP address is always valid.

•Assign the VLAN ID for the remote AP DHCP VLAN to a virtual AP profile. When a client connects to that virtual AP profile, the AP assigns the IP address from the DHCP pool.
