240 Configuring APs
NN47250-500 (320657-F Version 02.01)
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
success: change accepted.
Disabling or reenabling automatic firmware upgrades
An AP can automatically upgrade its boot firmware by loading the upgrade version of the firmware from a
WSS when the AP is booting. Automatic firmware upgrades are enabled by default.
To disable or reenable automatic firmware upgrades, use the following command:
set {ap port-list | ap ap-num} upgrade-firmware {enable | disable}
Forcing an AP to download its operational image from the WSS
An AP’s operational image is the software that allows it to function on the network as a wireless access point.
As part of the AP boot process, an operational image is loaded into the AP’s RAM and activated. The AP
stores copies of its operational image locally, in its internal flash memory. At boot time, the AP can either load
the locally stored image, or it can download an operational image from the WSS to which it has connected.
By default, an AP model that can locally store a software image on the AP will load the locally stored image
instead of downloading its image from the WSS.
To force the AP to always download its image from the WSS instead, use the following command:
set {ap port-list | ap ap-num} force-image-download {enable | disable}
A change to the forced image download option takes place the next time the AP is restarted.
