set ap boot-configuration switch

Specifies the WSS a AP contacts and attempts to use as its boot device.

Syntax set ap ap-numboot-configuration switch [switch-ip ip-addr] [name name dns ip-addr] [mode {enable disable}]

ap ap-num	Number of the AP for which you are specifying static IP
	information.
switch-ip ip-addr	The IP address of the WSS the AP should boot from.
name name	The fully qualified domain name of the WSS the AP should
	boot from. When both a name and a switch-ip are specified,
	the AP uses the name.
dns ip-addr	The IP address of the DNS server used to resolve the specified
	name of the WSS.
mode {enable disable}	Enables or disables the AP using the specified boot device.

Defaults By default APs use the process described in “Default AP Boot Process”, in the Nortel WLAN Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration Guide to boot from a WSS, instead of using a manually specified WSS.

Access Enabled.

History Introduced in WSS Software 4.1. Option dap removed.

Usage When you specify a boot switch for a AP to boot from, it boots using the process described in “AP Boot Process Using Static IP Configuration”, in the Nortel WLAN Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration Guide.

When a static IP address is specified for a AP, there is no preconfigured DNS information or DNS name for the WSS the AP attempts to use as its boot device. If you configure a static IP address for a AP, but do not specify a boot device, then the WSS must be reachable via subnet broadcast.

Examples The following command configures AP 1 to use the WSS with address 172.16.0.21 as its boot device.

WSS# set ap 1 boot-configuration switch switch-ip 172.16.0.21 mode enable

success: change accepted.

The following command configures AP 1 to use the WSS with the name 2350 as its boot device. The DNS server at 172.16.0.1 is used to resolve the name of the WSS.

WSS# set ap 1 boot-configuration switch name 2350 dns 172.16.0.1 mode enable

success: change accepted.
