Command Description
setenv name <ap name>
Name of the AP.
setenv group <group name>
Name of the AP group to which the AP should belong.
setenv master <ipaddr> IP address of the AP’s master controller.
setenv serverip <ipaddr>
IP address of the TFTP server from which the AP can download its boot
image.
setenv dnsip <ipaddr> IP address of the DNS server used by the AP.
setenv domainname
<domain>
Domain name used by the AP.
5. When you are finished, type Save and then press Enter to save your settings
Other AP console commands may be available when accessing an AP directly through its console port, but these
commands can cause configuration errors if used improperly and should only be issued under the direct supervision
of Dell technical support.
The example below configures an AP location and domain name using an AP console connection:
Hit <Enter> to stop autoboot: 0
apboot> <INTERRUPT>
apboot> setenv group corporate 2
apboot> setenv domainname mycompany.com
apboot> save
apboot>reboot
To view current AP settings using the AP console, issue the command printenv <name> where <name> is
one of the variable names listed in Table 100, such as ipaddr, dnsip or gatewayip.
apboot> printenv domainname
domainname=mycompany.com
Link Aggregation Support on W-AP220 Series and W-AP270 Series
W-AP220 Series and W-AP270 Series access points support link aggregation using either standard port-channel
(configuration based) or Link Aggregation Control Protocol (protocol signaling based). These access points can
optionally be deployed with LACP configuration to benefit from the higher (greater than 1 Gbps) aggregate
throughput capabilities of the two radios.
The controller uses two different IP addresses for different GRE tunnels between the AP and the controller.
One IP address is used for tunnels to virtual APs using a 5G radio, while a second controllerIP address is used
for tunnels corresponding to virtual APs using a 2.4G radio. The IP addresses should be selected to ensure a
different physical interface is used by the load-balancing algorithm on the Ethernet switch. This will allow the
W-AP225 and W-AP270 Seriesto achieve greater than 1Gbps throughput in both upstream and downstream
directions.
ArubaOS 6.4.2.0 introduces a local AP LACP LMSmap information profile that maps a LMS IPaddress to a GRE
striping IP address. If the AP fails over to a standby or backup controller, the AP LACP LMSmap information
profile on the new controller defines the IP address that AP uses to terminate 802.11g radio tunnels on the
new controller. This feature allows W-AP220 Series or W-AP270 Series access points to form a 802.11g radio
tunnel to a backup controller the event of a controller failover, even if the backup controller is in a different L3
network.
