Parameter Description
If enabled, APs stop flooding unnecessary traps and syslog messages to
network management systems or network operations centers when
deploying, maintaining, or upgrading the network. The controller still
generates debug syslog messages if debug logging is enabled.
Number of IPSEC retries Number of times the AP will try to create an IPsec tunnel with the master
controller before the AP will reboot. If you specify a value of 0, and AP will
not reboot if it cannot create the IPsec tunnel. The supported range of
values is 0-1000 retries, and the default value is 85 retries.
Maximum Request Retries Maximum number of times to retry AP-generated requests, including
keepalive messages. After the maximum number of retries, the AP either
tries the IP address specified by the bkup-lms-ip (if configured) or reboots.
Request Retry Interval Interval, in seconds, between the first and second retries of AP-generated
requests. If the configured interval is less than 30 seconds, the interval for
subsequent retries is increased up to 30 seconds.
Root AP Defines a remote AP as the root AP in a branch office network with a
multi-AP hierarchy.
AeroScout RTLS Server Enables the AP to send AeroScout tag information to an RTLS server. You
must specify the IP address or DNS server and port number of the server
to which location reports are sent.
RTLS station reporting includes information for APs and the clients that
the AP has detected. If you select the Include Unassociated Stations
option, the station reports will also include information about clients not
associated to any AP. By default, unassociated clients are not included in
station reports.
RTLS Server configuration Enables the AP to send RFID tag information to an RTLS server. You must
specify the IP address or DNS server and port number of the server to
which location reports are sent, a shared secret key, and the frequency at
which packets are sent to the server.
RTLS station reporting includes information for APs and the clients that
the AP has detected. If you select the Include Unassociated Stations
option, the station reports will also include information about clients not
associated to any AP. By default, unassociated clients are not included in
station reports. For more information on configuring RTLS server
configuration, see RTLS Server on page 505.
Telnet Select this checkbox to enable telnet to the AP.
Spanning Tree Select this checkbox to enable the Spanning Tree protocol.
To configure the bootstrap threshold using the command-line interface, access the CLI in config mode and
issue the following command:
ap system-profile <profile>
bootstrap-threshold 30
Prioritizing AP heartbeats
If the AP heartbeat or keep alive packets sent between the APs and controller are not received during the
defined interval, the APs may reboot, causing clients to re-associate. If a high-latency or low-speed link prevents
AP heartbeats from being sent and received correctly, you can assign a DHCP value to AP heartbeats to
prioritize the heartbeats.
To prioritize AP heartbeats using the WebUI:
