Setting a port for a directly connected AP
To set a port for an AP, 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 a port list of one or more port numbers, the AP model number, and the PoE state. (For details about
port lists, see “Port lists” (page 49).)
On two-radio AP models, one radio is always 802.11a. The other radio is 802.11b/g, but can be configured for 802.11b
or 802.11g exclusively. If the country of operation specified by the set system countrycode command does not allow
802.11g, the default is 802.11b.
The following models have internal antennas but also have connectors for optional use of external antennas 2330,
2330A, 2330B, and Series 2332. (Antenna support on a specific model is limited to the antennas certified for use with
that model.) To specify the antenna model, use the set ap radio antennatype command. (See “Configuring the external
antenna model” (page 256).)
To set ports 4 through 6 for AP model 2330 and enable PoE on the ports, type the following command:
WSS# set ap <apnum> port 4- 6 model 2330 poe {enable|disable}
This may affect the power applied on the configured ports. Would you like to continue? (y/n) [n]y
success: change accepted.
Note. Before configuring a port as an AP access port, you must use the set system
countrycode command to set the IEEE 802.11 country-specific regulations on the WSS.
(See “Specifying the country of operation” (page 229).)
Note. You cannot configure any gigabit Ethernet port, or port 7 or 8 on a 2360/2361
switch, or port 1 on a 2350, or port 3 on an 2382 as an AP port. To manage an AP on a
switch model that does not have 10/100 Ethernet ports, configure a Distributed AP
connection on the switch. (See “Configuring for a AP” (page 92).)
Note. Additional configuration is required to place an AP into operation. For information,
see “Configuring APs” (page 199).
