Loading the AirDefense sensor software on the AP

After the AirDefense sensor software is copied to the WSS, you can configure an AP to load the software. When you do
this, the software is transferred to the AP, which then reboots and comes up as an AirDefense sensor.
To configure an AP to load the AirDefense sensor software, use the following command:
set ap ap-num image filename
For example, the following command causes Distributed AP 1 to load the adconvert.bin file, then reboot as an AirDe-
fense sensor:
WSS# set ap 1 image adconvert.bin
This will change the file a AP will boot. Would you like to continue? (y/n) [n] y

How a converted AP obtains an IP address

If you had previously configured the AP to use a static IP address, then when the AP boots as an AirDefense sensor, it
uses that same IP address. Otherwise, the converted AP uses DHCP to obtain its IP address.
Optionally, the converted AP can obtain an IP address directly from an AirDefense server. To do this, configure your
DHCP server to include the IP address or hostname of the AirDefense server in the Option 43 field of the DHCP Offer
message. After receiving a DHCP Offer identifying an AirDefense server in the option 43 field, a converted AP contacts
the AirDefense server and gets an IP address from it.
