Parameter Description Range Default
led-mode The operating mode for the AP LEDs. This option is
available on all 802.11n indoor APplatforms.
normal
normal Display LEDs in normal mode.
off Turn off all LEDs.
lms-hold-down-
period
Time, in seconds, that the primary LMS must be
available before an AP returns to that LMS after
failover.
1-3600 600 seconds
lms-ip In multi-controller networks, this parameter specifies
the IP address of the local management switch (LMS)—
the Dell controller—which is responsible for
terminating user traffic from the APs, and processing
and forwarding the traffic to the wired network. This
can be the IP address of the local or master controller.
When using redundant controllers as the LMS, set this
parameter to be the VRRP IP address to ensure that
APs always have an active IP address with which to
terminate sessions.
NOTE: If the LMS-IP is blank, the access point will
remain on the controller that it finds using methods like
DNS or DHCP. If an IP address is configured for the
LMS IP parameter, the AP will be immediately
redirected to the controller at that address.
— —
lms-ipv6 In multi-controller ipv6 networks, specifies the IPv6
address of the local management switch (LMS)—the
controller—which is responsible for terminating user
traffic from the APs, and processing and forwarding the
traffic to the wired network. This can be the IP address
of the local or master controller.
When using redundant controllers as the LMS, set this
parameter to be the VRRP IP address to ensure that
APs always have an active IP address with which to
terminate sessions.
— —
lms-preemption Automatically reverts to the primary LMS IP address
when it becomes available.
— disabled
maintenance-
mode
Enable or disable AP maintenance mode.
This setting is useful when deploying, maintaining, or
upgrading the network.
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.
disabled
max-request-re
tries
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.
