Configure Advanced Settings for an Access Point

1. Select Configure > Devices > Access Points from the menu.
2. Select an AP from the AP list. Select Configure AP.
3. Under the Name and Description fields, select Advanced.
   

   Note

   The Advanced Settings dialog for access points varies, depending on what type of access point is being configured.

   

   AP Configuration for Model with Sensor Mode

4. (ExtremeWireless only) Edit the fields.
   

   AP Advanced Settings

   

   Link Aggregation	Enable or disable the AP's L2 port association with a LAG (peer-to-peer) group. Important When configuring a LAG port for use by an ExtremeCloud-enabled access point, enable link aggregation on the access point first. If you do not do this, the AP can become isolated from the network. If the AP becomes isolated by the switch LAG port configuration, disable link aggregation on the switch ports used by the AP to allow the AP to join the network again. LAG can then be enabled on the AP, which takes one minute to update the configuration. Approximately two minutes later, LAG can be enabled on the corresponding switch ports.
   Live Capture	Lets an AP capture wired and wireless traffic and forward them to a remote Wireshark application.
   Retrieve Traces	Downloads trace files.
   Reboot	Restarts the device at the next synchronization interval, within five minutes.
   Go to Traces	Select this option to go directly to the downloaded log files for the device.

5. (ExtremeWireless WiNG only) Edit the fields.
   

   Note

   For AP5XX, see the following step.

   Reboot

   Restarts the device at the next synchronization interval, within five minutes.

   Configure Static IP

   Configure the VLAN mapping for this AP. IP Address Specify the IP address that is assigned to the wireless client using this VLAN. Only IPv4 addresses are supported. Leave this field blank to allow DHCP assigned IP address for this VLAN. Mask Specify the subnet mask in the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xx format for this IP address. Gateway Specify the gateway device to which traffic for the IP address is directed to. DNS Server (Required) Enter the address of the site's DNS server. This is required for the topology set up and it is also required if you plan to use an external captive portal.

6. (AP5XX only) Edit the fields.
   

   AP5XX Advanced Settings

   

   Scan Mode	Specify a scan mode Default Scan Specify this option to use the default channel list. This list includes all of the channels that the AP supports, and is optimized to scan with the widest possible channel. Radio 1 uses 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz (for AP510 only) channels. Radio 2 uses 5 Ghz channels. Custom Scan Specify a custom list of channels to scan from the drop-down list. When this option is selected, the Channels field displays. Radio 1 uses 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz (for AP510 only) channels. Radio 2 uses 5 Ghz channels. Channel width can also be specified for either or both radios. Channel Lock Specifies that the scan will be performed on only one channel. When this option is selected, the Channels field displays.
   Channels	This field displays only when Channel Lock or Custom Scan is selected as the scan mode. Specify which channel the scan will be performed on, or specify Auto for automatic channel selection.
   Link Aggregation	Enable or disable the AP's L2 port association with a LAG (peer-to-peer) group. Important When configuring a LAG port for use by an ExtremeCloud-enabled access point, enable link aggregation on the access point first. If you do not do this, the AP can become isolated from the network. If the AP becomes isolated by the switch LAG port configuration, disable link aggregation on the switch ports used by the AP to allow the AP to join the network again. LAG can then be enabled on the AP, which takes one minute to update the configuration. Approximately two minutes later, LAG can be enabled on the corresponding switch ports.
   Reboot	Restarts the device at the next synchronization interval, within five minutes.
   Configure Static IP	Configure the VLAN mapping for this AP. IP Address Specify the IP address that is assigned to the wireless client using this VLAN. Only IPv4 addresses are supported. Leave this field blank to allow DHCP assigned IP address for this VLAN. Mask Specify the subnet mask in the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xx format for this IP address. Gateway Specify the gateway device to which traffic for the IP address is directed to. DNS Server (Required) Enter the address of the site's DNS server. This is required for the topology set up and it is also required if you plan to use an external captive portal.

7. To set IoT overrides, select the Overrides tab. This option lets you override the IoT setting at the site level for this individual AP. All other APs assigned to the site will follow the site level settings. Select an option and enter a value in the corresponding text box. For more information about IoT settings, see IoT Services.
   

   IoT Overrides Configuration

   

   IoT iBeacon Major	Specify a subset of beacons within the larger UUID set. This value can represent a venue specific attribute, such as a specific store or a wing in a building. Values: 0 to 65635
   IoT iBeacon Minor	Specify an individual beacon whose location you want to more precisely pinpoint. This value complements the UUID and Major values to provide more granular identification of a specific location, such as a particular shelf, door-way, or item. Values: 0 to 65635
   Eddystone URL	Specify the URL that is included with the Eddystone-url beacon. Limit: 17 characters. The 17 characters does not include the protocol, but it does include the domain name. The URL is compressed, effectively allowing more than a 17 character input. See https://github.com/google/eddystone/tree/master/eddystone-url for the Eddystone-url compression rules to more accurately judge the length of your URL. If necessary, search for third-party URL shortening services available on the Internet.

8. For RMA Replacements, select RMA. This option copies the configuration from an existing device to the new, replacement device.
