D-Link dws-1008 Switch User Manual


 
D-Link DWS-1008 CLI Manual 316
If AP port 1 is indirectly connected to DWS-1008 switches through the network, the AP boots
from the switch with the high bias for the AP. If the bias for all connections is the same, the AP
selects the switch that has the greatest capacity to add more active APs. For example, if an AP
is dual homed to two DWS-1008 switches, and one of the switches has 50 active APs while the
other switch has 60 active APs, the new AP selects the switch that has only 50 active APs.
If the boot request on AP port 1 fails, the AP attempts to boot over its port 2, using the same
process described above.
AP selection of an DWS-1008 is static. After an AP selects a DWS-1008 switch to boot from, the
AP continues to use that switch for its active data link even if another switch configured with high
bias for the AP becomes available.
The following command changes the bias for a Distributed AP to low:
DWS-1008# set dap 1 bias low
success: change accepted.

Enables or disables LED blink mode on a DWL-8220AP access point to make it easy to identify.
When blink mode is enabled on DWL-8220AP-xxx models, the health and radio LEDs alternately
blink green and amber. By default, blink mode is disabled.

Defaults: LED blink mode is disabled by default.
Access: Enabled
Usage: Changing the LED blink mode does not alter operation of the DWL-8220AP access
point. Only the behavior of the LEDs is affected.
