300 Configuring APs
NN47250-500 (Version 03.01)
This command resets the port as a network port and removes all AP-related parameters from the port.
To clear a Distributed AP, use the following command:
clear ap ap-num
Changing AP names
The default name of a directly attached AP is based on the port number of the AP access port attached to the
AP. For example, the default name for an AP on AP access port 1 is AP01. The default name of a Distributed
AP is based on the number you assign to it when you configure the connection. For example, the default name
for Distributed AP 1 is ap01.
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 | ap ap-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-list | ap ap-num} bias {high | low}
The default bias is high.
To change the bias for a Distributed AP to low, type the following command:
WSS# set ap 1 bias low
success: change accepted.
Configuring a load-balancing group
A load-balancing group is a named set of APs. WSS Software balances user sessions among the access points
in the group.
To assign an AP to a load-balancing group, use the following command:
set {ap port-list | ap ap-num} group name
To configure a load-balancing group named loadbalance1 that contains directly-connected APs on ports 1, 4,
and 7, type the following command:
WSS# set ap 1,4,7 group loadbalance1
Note. The clear port type command does not place the cleared port in any VLAN, not
even in the default VLAN (VLAN 1). To use the cleared port in a VLAN, you must add the
port to the VLAN. (For instructions, see “Adding ports to a VLAN” on page 123.)
