1.WSS Software generates a log message listing the AP serial number and fingerprint so you can verify the AP’s identity. (See “Fingerprint Log Message” on page 264.)

Confirming an AP’s Fingerprint on an WSS Switch

To confirm an AP’s fingerprint, find the fingerprint and use the set dap fingerprint command to enter the fingerprint in WSS Software.

Finding the Fingerprint

An AP’s fingerprint is listed on a label on the back of the AP. (See “Encryption Key Fingerprint” on page 261.)

If the AP is already installed and operating, use the show dap status command to display the fingerprint. The following example shows information for Distributed AP 8, including its fingerprint:

23x0# show dap status 8

Dap: 8, IP-addr: 10.2.26.40 (vlan 'default'), AP model: 2330, manufacturer: Nortel, name: DAP08
