Chapter 4 Configuring the Access Point for the First Time
Automatic Configuring of the Access Point
Step 2 You need to set the correct time zone for the AP to have the correct time, This can be done using the
command clock timezone TIMEZONE HH MM, where:
–
TIMEZONE is name of timezone like IST, UTC, or others.
–
HH is the Hours offset from the timezone
–
MM is the Minutes offset from timezone
Step 3 For instances where the download of the configuration information file from the SCP server fails, you
can set a time interval after which the AP retries to download it again. This retry interval can be set using
the command dot11 autoconfig download retry interval min MIN max MAX, where:
–
MIN is minimum number of seconds
–
MAX is maximum number of seconds between retries. After every failed download, the retry
interval doubles, but the retires stop the interval when becomes larger than MAX.
Enabling Autoconfig via a Boot File
You can enable Autoconfig by also providing the following commands in a boot file as a part of the
DHCP IP configuration.
The format of the contents of the boot file returned by the DHCP/BootTP server should be as shown in
the following example:
dot11 autoconfig add env var AUTO_CONFIG_AP_FUNCTIONALITY val YES
dot11 autoconfig add env var AUTO_CONFIG_USER val someusername
dot11 autoconfig add env var AUTO_CONFIG_PASSWD val somepasswd
dot11 autoconfig add env var AUTO_CONFIG_SERVER val scp.someserver.com
dot11 autoconfig add env var AUTO_CONFIG_INF_FILE val some_inf_file.xml
sntp server 208.210.12.199
clock timezone IST 5 30
dot11 autoconfig download retry interval min 100 max 400
end
Checking the Autoconfig Status
To know the Autoconfig status, use the show dot11 autoconfig status command.
Examples
AP1600-ATT# show dot11 autoconfig status
Dot11 l2tp auto config is disabled
1600-89-absim# show dot11 autoconfig status
Auto configuration download will occur after
45 seconds
1600-89-absim# show dot11 autoconfig status
