Configuring APs 237
Nortel WLAN—Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration Guide
To set the port type for AP access ports, use the following command:
set port type ap port-list
model {2330 | 2330A | 2330B | 2332-A1 | 2332-A2 | 2332-A3 | 2332-A4 | 2332-A5 |
2332-A6 | 2332-E1 | 2332-E2 | 2332-E3 | 2332-E4 | 2332-E5 |2332-E6 | 2332-E7 |
2332-E8 | 2332-E9 | 2332-J1}
poe {enable | disable}
[radiotype {11a | 11b| 11g}]
You must specify the AP model and the PoE state.
(For syntax information, see “Setting a port for a directly connected AP” (page 91).)
To set ports 11 through 14 and port 16 for AP model 2330 and enable PoE on the ports, type the following
command:
WSS# set ap <apnum> port <portnum> model <ap_type> poe {enable|disable}
This may affect the power applied on the configured ports. Would you like to continue?

Configuring an indirectly connected AP
If an AP that you want to manage using the WSS is indirectly connected to the switch through a Layer 2 or
Layer 3 network, configure the AP using the following command:
set ap ap-num serial-id serial-ID
model {2330 | 2330A | 2330B | 2332-A1 | 2332-A2 | 2332-A3 | 2332-A4 | 2332-A5 |
2332-A6 | 2332-E1 | 2332-E2 | 2332-E3 | 2332-E4 | 2332-E5 |2332-E6 | 2332-E7 |
2332-E8 | 2332-E9 | 2332-J1}
[radiotype {11a | 11b| 11g}]
(For syntax information, see “Configuring for a AP” (page 92).)
To configure Distributed AP connection 1 for AP model 2330 with serial-ID 0322199999, type the following
command:
WSS# set ap 1 serial-id 0322199999 model 2330
success: change accepted.
(To specify the external antenna type, use the set ap radio antennatype command. See “Configuring the
external antenna model” (page 256).)
Configuring static IP addresses on distributed APs
By default, Distributed APs use the procedure described in “How a distributed AP obtains an IP address
through DHCP” (page 209) to obtain an IP address and connect to a WSS. In some installations, DHCP may
not be available. In such a case, you can manually assign static IP address information to the AP.
You can also optionally specify the WSS the Distributed AP uses as its boot device, and an 802.1Q VLAN tag
to be applied to Ethernet frames emitted from the distributed AP.
