Configuring and Managing Ports and VLANs 75

AP access point models AP2750, AP-241 and AP-341 have a single radio that can be configured for 802.11a or 802.11b/ g. Other AP models have two radios. One radio is always 802.11a. The other radio is 802.11b/g, but can be configured for 802.11b or 802.11g exclusively. If the country of operation specified by the set system countrycode command does not allow 802.11g, the default is 802.11b.

Note. All AP models except the 2330 and AP2750 have been discontinued but are still supported by the command.

AP radios configured for 802.11g also allow associations from 802.11b clients by default. To disable support for 802.11b associations, use the set radio-profile11g-onlycommand on the radio profile that contains the radio.

Note. You cannot configure any gigabit Ethernet port, or port 7 or 8 on a WSS-2360 switch, or port 1 on a WSS-2350, as an AP port. To manage an AP access point on a WSS-2380 switch, configure a Distributed AP connection on the switch. (See “Configuring for a Distributed AP” on page 76.)

AP model AP-262 requires an external antenna for the 802.11b/g radio. You must specify the Nortel antenna model. AP-3xxmodels have an internal 802.1b/g antenna as well as a connector for an external antenna, so use of an external antenna is optional on these models. The 2330 also has a connector for an optional external 802.11a antenna. To specify the antenna model, use the set {ap dap} radio antennatype command. (See “Configuring the External Antenna Model” on page 274.)

To set ports 4 through 6 for AP access point model 2330 and enable PoE on the ports, type the following command:

23x0# set port type ap 4-6 model 2330 poe enable

This may affect the power applied on the configured ports. Would you like to continue? (y/n) [n]y

success: change accepted.

To set port 7 for AP access point model AP-241, enable PoE on the port, and set the radio type to 802.11b only, type the following command:

23x0# set port type ap 7 model AP-241 poe enable radiotype 11b

This may affect the power applied on the configured ports. Would you like to continue? (y/n) [n]y

success: change accepted.

To set port 11 for AP access point model AP-341, enable PoE on the port, and change the radio type to 802.11a, type the following command:

23x0# set port type ap 11 model AP-341 poe enable radiotype 11a

This may affect the power applied on the configured ports. Would you like to continue? (y/n) [n]y

success: change accepted.
