Nortel Networks 2300 Changing Bias, Configuring a Load-Balancing Group, Enabling LED Blink Mode

260Configuring AP access points

AP names appear in the output of some CLI show commands and in WLAN Management Software . To change the name of an AP, use the following command:

set {ap port-list dap dap-num}name name

Changing Bias

The CLI commands described in this section enable you to change the bias for an AP.

To change the bias of an AP, use the following command:

set {ap port-listdap dap-num}bias {high low}

The default bias is high.

To change the bias for a Distributed AP to low, type the following command:

23x0# set dap 1 bias low

success: change accepted.

Configuring a Load-Balancing Group

A load-balancing group is a named set of AP access ports. WSS Software balances user sessions among the access ports in the group.

To assign an AP access point to a load-balancing group, use the following command:

set {ap port-list dap dap-num}group name

To configure a load-balancing group named loadbalance1 that contains directly-connected AP access ports on ports 1, 4, and 7, type the following command:

23x0# set ap 1,4,7 group loadbalance1

success: change accepted.

Disabling or Reenabling Automatic Firmware Upgrades

An AP access point can automatically upgrade its boot firmware by loading the upgrade version of the firmware from an WSS switch when the AP is booting. Automatic firmware upgrades are enabled by default.

To disable or reenable automatic firmware upgrades, use the following command:

set {ap port-listdap dap-num}upgrade-firmware {enable disable}

Enabling LED Blink Mode

Blink mode makes an AP easy to identify. When blink mode is enabled on AP-xxxmodels, the health and radio LEDs alternately blink green and amber. When blink mode is enabled on an AP2750, the 11a LED blinks on and off. By default, blink mode is disabled. Blink mode continues until you disable it. LED blink mode is disabled by default.

Changing the LED blink mode does not alter operation of the AP access port. Only the behavior of the LEDs is affected.

To enable or disable LED blink mode, use the following command:

set {ap port-listdap dap-num}blink {enable disable}
